Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #14: Disinheritance

“For a time, I was sure he would disinherit me, disown me, but a few days later, he surprised me. He said that he understood. I was young, impulsive, and dropped the subject altogether. I knew he was unhappy with my choice in mate, but it seemed he was at least resigned, if not accepting.

“You can’t imagine how overjoyed I was when I told Yuki she would soon be mine. She cried and threw herself in my arms. I remember thinking so clearly that nothing could dispel the happiness we found for ourselves…until, not long after, she became ill.”
