petals to soak in

REXANNA for a time it seemed to me, that we were starlight-touched... failing to realize that we were starcrossed, It had been a surprise, a shock that hit her core from the moment she spoke and it hadn’t been laced with a hum or flirtatious tone or innuendo. Like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders – and yet she still didn’t understand how she had accomplished it. She had spoken to Bastien, and after that, well, everything had changed. And yet nothing had. But she felt different in a sense that when she caught a glimpse of herself in the fading light of a window, she held a different appearance. More radiant, more… well, everything. Even when she stepped into a mud puddle, and her exposed skin that should have been covered with the grime of it, seemed to drip off her and leave her clean. It was incredible. So of course, the first person she had to see was Remi. To tell her she had done the task, had returned fine and even better than before. She raced there, while the sun began to set, knocking on the Alchemy shop’s door with a sense of urgency and a brilliant smile along her face. She only hoped he was home. the stars were never on our side.
