meet me in the afterglow

When no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes

Okay, so he didn’t regret it. Or, well, not exactly. It was certainly more complicated than she’d given it credit for, that was for sure.

Soh stilled at the sound of Koa’s name. Of course, of course he would be the reason for this sudden hesitation. And she couldn’t even blame him, not really - gods, what a mess. ”Koa and I…” She paused, unsure what to say. Last time she and Zavien had spoken about Koa, Soh had still had hope that things might work out. She sighed. ”We’re not… together. I can’t speak for how this would affect him, but as far as he and I go, it’s over. It already was before last night.”

She trailed her thumb over the back of Zavien’s hand, looking down at where they connected with a slight frown. ”As far as my feelings go, though… this was everything I didn’t know I wanted.” She looked up at him, earnest. ”Of course I don’t regret it. My only regret is that I didn’t see it sooner. That I didn’t really see you sooner.”

Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you
