“Her immortal life has split into two. If she moves – if she stands up and walks away from this cove – then she will be in the new part of it. The part that is after. So she stays where she is, as though she can conjure back the before. Gods can do so many things. They can manipulate the weather, take on any shape they choose, change the landscape. But they cannot change to flow of time. She can’t go back.”
