What did she want after she'd paid her debts?
It was a question that should have been easy to answer. If you asked the captain of any ship in Blackwell what they intended to do once they paid back the loans they took to buy their vessels, they'd have an answer ready on their tongues. Ask any new Guild Master what they intended to do now that they'd obtained the highest office in their guild and they could write out a list.
But for Jocelynn, the dreams ended the day the books balanced. What happened after that, she truly didn't know. But it hadn't always been that way.
"I don't know what I want anymore," Jocelynn said, biting her lower lip as she debated whether or not to say more. It felt like the dreams she'd tended so carefully had all cracked and broken. They also felt a bit like the dolls she'd left sitting on a shelf in her chambers in Blackwell Manor because they no longer belonged to the life she had now.
