With the ring on her finger everything made sense.

She’d been trying to choose one-right-man. Robin or Gisborne or her Father. Always waiting for them to understand her; emotions and reasons and consequences; to save her.

The ring fit snug on her finger; ornate and gaudy as the sickening, jolting, nauseating, elating sense it freed into her mind.

She wouldn’t be the girl at the window reliving things undone. She wouldn’t be the wife who overlooked everything. She wouldn’t be another noble women ruled through fear. She wouldn’t wait for a man to free her.

She’d save herself.
