She survived but crossed a bridge and never returned, letting the rivalry win. She believes that if not for the bridge connecting them, everyone would have been safe.

3. I had always known he wasn’t mine to keep, but that didn’t change the way I
loved him—quietly, gently, and from afar. ??As the seasons changed, the corn
stalks grew strong, and the grapevines flourished with hope. But none of it
mattered, not when the soil at our feet bound us in a century-old rivalry. We’d
never even had a chance. ??They said life flashed before your eyes on the way
to death, but on that night, after my final scream burst from my throat and my
world started to fade to black, I only thought of him. Of his sweet chocolate
eyes, his desperately cautious stare, and his silence that carried more weight
than gold. ??I should have died that night. Instead, I crossed the moonlit bridge
and never returned. ??I let rivalry win. If only that had been enough to keep us
all safe. If only we didn’t have a bridge between us.?
