the lullaby

Frowning and feeling as though he'd just been plunged into arctic waters, the Lullaby glances up sharply, lips parted. That it doesn't matter is merely the cherry on top of the utter delight that is Isla Lockwood, and gods but Remi can't believe he ever thought he deserved her in his life. Lashes fluttering and his teeth clenching against one another to try and keep caged the sob in the back of his throat, Remi sucks back a breath and gives his head a miserable shake.

Unable to move, not that he would, the Lullaby meets Isla's gaze as her fingertips brush at his skin, instantly causing his tears to flow anew and for his lower lip to tremble. For all the composure he's tried to maintain thus far, the tidal current of his emotions is something else entirely. Vast and indomitable, the black swell of his guilt coats even the very best moments that had existed between the two, and capsized across the entirety of its surface are broken boats with names like you can't change it and what's done is done.

'I know,' He cries, his right hand rising to cover hers against his cheek. " I wish I had as well."

You trace my lines, stirring my soul
shoot sparks at the heart of the world
& I watch it explode
