Avalon was gone. She felt the absence the second she came in the door and it crushed her. Her chest felt tight and she felt hollow, a deep sadness that stole her breath and brought tears to her eyes. Defeated, she sat on the couch, arms about her waist as she rocked back and forth fighting tears. She understood now. Avalon had a deep and sacred love for Henry and while he would have been content in his own way to allow for Henry to love another, it was that Henry used others instead of truly feeling. He'd used Josh. And now he was using her.
She had felt with him. She had thought the same depth and soul was in him. She was so sure. But she'd been duped. And because of her ignorance, she'd hurt Avalon. She'd hurt Josh. She'd caused all this pain. There was no other choice now, to go back to the Tribe, turn in her staff, and let the universe do what it will.
"I'm here, Henry."
Her voice was dull, sad.
