Ava remembered

She remembered now, the hardest thing he had ever done in his life.
The girl who met the boy - who was also a man.
He was always a man.
And if the woman, who was once a girl, who promised she'd never fall in love with another did keep the promise - it wouldn't be because she was stupid or even a martyr.
It would be because she couldn't or it just didn't...

'Ava' her mother called as she walked in the door of the house.
'I must go,' Mat spoke out.
