Maeve
It’s only one word. Two syllables. Five letters. Yet it held a world of meaning. Weight that Maeve couldn’t explain. Warm and real and bright. Her breath catches in her throat and her heart swells with so much love she’s sure it’ll burst. Briefly her mind flits to all of those who’ve tried to capture her heart. Those who briefly held it. Yet none of them compare to this. To him.
With careful steps Maeve wades through the water, the silt silky beneath her feet and his hand firm on the small of her back as she holds Jude steady with each step. He releases her briefly to deposit their stuff onto the rocks and she misses his touch instantly. It’s only a moment before he’s back, taking her hands in his and drawing her closer, urging her eyes upwards. The twinkling of the crystals dance in the jade of her eyes and across her skin as the sun lights them both up. ”They are. It’s like they’re shining just for us.” Maeve whispers, eyes falling to his as she takes a small step forward until they’re almost nose to nose if it wasn’t for the baby between them.

the only heaven I'll be sent to
is when I'm along with you
is when I'm along with you
