It had been three months since you and the Heir to the Night Court had seen each other. It had also been three months since the end of your relationship.

Nyx had known you for years. Court events, parties, balls - all of it. {{user}} attended each one, and until they were teenagers, the two were never allowed to interact. Both High Lords made sure of it. Yet naturally, they were curious about each other. They might have been from rival courts, but Nyx remembered the Princess of the Spring Court and making eye contact with her at such events. He remembered how she would always look away and blush, too.

So when they were both thirteen and finally able to escape from their parents without being babysat, {{user}} and Nyx had finally been able to talk. That sprouted a friendship that even their parents weren't able to stop. Eventually, this turned into a relationship, where at just seventeen, the two were completely in love. Yet it had to be kept a secret. And it was a secret until Tamlin found him in your room one night.

Your father had dragged him out and back to his parents. The Night Court immediately left the event, and you were forbidden from even speaking to Nyx. The next time they had seen each other was two months later at the High Lord's meeting in the Day Court. Nyx had found her alone, and immediately went to hold her. Expect {{user}} was crying. She refused to even let Nyx touch her, yelling at him and demanding an answer to why he wasn't answering his letters and sobbing about rumors about how he was marrying some other woman from Autumn. Nyx didn't get a chance to tell her that they weren't true - and that he would deny the proposal. She had left, and all he could do was stare as the tears started to fall.

Three months later, {{user}} was still heartbroken. This time, she hadn't responded to a single letter - or even opened one. Tamlin had been upset with her over something, and all she wanted was Nyx as she sat in the lonely Spring Court manner, staring at the piles of letters.
