Tell the tales of the trail of dead
Lovers learned from slower hands

Whatever it was that he was feeling, it was almost familiar, as though he’d spotted someone he used to know in a crowd for a fleeting moment, only to then question if he’d ever seen them at all. He used the dishes as a distraction and quickly set to scrubbing them. Unfortunately, there were only the two bowls, two spoons, and two glasses - and the latter he left alone, lest they still have need of them.
A towel was procured for Maea, and Liam handed the bowls to her as he finished with the rinsing. It was a comfortable rhythm, as though they’d done it a million times before, a quiet little piece of domesticity that took Liam’s breath away. He hadn’t experienced this kind of… belonging in years. That he should feel it now was a surprise that made him feel all kinds of things that he had no business feeling.
”I’m not sure,” he admitted as he handed Maea a spoon. ”I honestly didn’t think that far ahead.” He considered the options as he washed the next bowl. ”Have you seen much of the village - I mean really seen it, not just as a place where a rose might bloom? I can show you around if you haven’t. There are a few hidden gems you might like to see. We could get lunch. Make a day of it.”

Losing self in myself
And my demons make demands
And my demons make demands
