NOAH
set a fire for tomorrow
set it to your woes
set it to your woes
When she relinquished the books, Noah took them and invited her to sit. He sank down the railing and sat next to where she had been before. "Yeah, definitely not a sharer." He knew that some people had relations that brought in many people. He had even wondered if Delphine's husband had kept two wives at all times--but he usually got rid of those thoughts as quickly as they came. He was more of a monogamous man, and he probably always would be.
He let out a breath, "No, what I need to apologize for is not trying enough. I told you that relationships required work and we needed to continue to get to know each other. But I have been so wrapped up in myself and my own affairs that I have forgotten you. I've forgotten that I need to give of myself to you. Share things with you, and ask questions about what's going on in your life." He set the books down on the floor and reached out to grab her hand.
When she asked about his other shift, he nodded. "Yes. I was kind of afraid of that at first, too, so I focused how I always have and I was able to get back into the reindeer shift. I can do both just fine."
feel defiance burning through my teeth
it's not enough to drag this blade across the day
it's not enough to drag this blade across the day
