She wanted to. Desperately. She wanted nothing more than to give in, to fall into his arms and into his bed and pretend that this revelation didn’t mean anything at all, but she couldn’t. She knew he didn’t believe her when she claimed she couldn’t have children, but she knew, deep in her heart, that it could never be. It was her curse, her punishment to bear for her selfish decisions. She couldn’t be selfish now.

SUMMARY
“‘Can a man still be brave if he’s afraid?’ 'That is the only time a man can be brave,’ his father told him.”
Winterfell has become a gathering point as the fight against the Army of the Dead draws near and Winter begins to tighten its grip across Westeros. Jon Snow is finally returning home after months away, bringing aid to the North in the form of Daenerys Targaryen and the promise of more troops from King’s Landing. Friends and family reunite and old foes become new allies.
Basically it’s something to read while we all wait for Season 8
