Jack of Harts

Dawn DeMarco made it all the way through The War without dying once, and Jesse kept up with her the whole way. He was the only one that really managed to do that. The rest of us went in and out of her life and plans as The War took us to and fro. But Dawn and Jesse were a matched pair the whole way. She was a royal princess, he was a Kansas farmer, and they never hid that to the people of the Hyades. The only thing they hid was how fond of each other they were growing. From each other, at least. Everyone watching them knew exactly what was going on, and most of us were taking bets on when they’d notice. Then one day they looked at each other and realized the truth. Katy won that bet. The rest of us just smiled and shook our heads as they both retired and walked away from all of the fighting the moment War’s End came. They toured the stars for a while, visiting places they had always wanted to see, and went to Camelot for a time.
