land over land
creeping and crawling
creeping and crawling
Wren hesitated only for a moment before leaning over the well, cupping the pale, dark water in her hands and lifting it to her lips. She let the last drops slip down, tilting her head slightly, savoring the simplicity of it. Down, deep within her heart, she hoped that the water would give her good dreams and plenty of rest.
She straightened, wiping her lips with the back of her hand, and met Colt’s gaze. A small, uneven smile tugged at her lips. “Yeah,” she murmured, the word tasting bitter, so he adjusted, "Well, uh, no. Not really, actually. I mean I've got a bed, but I don't think I can stay where I am very long. It's just that, uh, I think they'll make me start paying eventually." She couldn't just be a refugee forever, with mercy cast over her. The inn where she, ando ther breakers were, had to make a living. Her fingers twisted slightly, and she dug at the corner of one nail with another.
Her eyes drifted past Colt for a moment, taking in the horses again, the soft sway of the wind through the grass, and the quiet weight of the ranch around her. "The truth is I don't really know what home feels like." She had felt a safety in Stormbreak, but it wasn't really because she loved it, but it was becase she didn't know anything else.

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