creeping and crawling
Wren lifted a hand in return the moment Colt’s voice carried across the space between them, her pace quickening despite herself as she angled toward the well. She started jogging until she closed the distance between her and the rancher, eying the horses as she approached to make sure they didn't spook. She wasn't sure what she would do if they did other than freeze, but she was sure Colt would quickly fill in the gaps. “Hey!” she called back, breathy.
Her gaze flickered briefly to the stones in Colt’s hand, catching the way they gleamed, before settling on her face. The young Breaker did not hide the way she looked the woman up and down, as if reassuring herself that Colt was whole, present, here. That she hadn’t come too late for something else to be lost.
I know I, uh, said it in my letter but, I’m… really sorry.” Wren added, quieter now, her voice gentling. “You know, about your ranch and all that.” Her eyes dipped briefly, then returned, steady despite the ache behind them. “I know it’s not the same, but --Stormbreak…” She exhaled softly. “Losing a place like that -- it --” She trailedo ff, not really knowing what else to say.
Still, she managed a small, warm smile, and shook her head slightly. “I’m glad you’re here.”

like the sea over sand
still I follow heartlines on your hand
