My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
"I will." Maeve promised, voice seeming much too loud in the quiet of the room, but she pushed away any lingering unease as she willed herself to relax into the mattress. Aidon shifted to curl at her side, his head resting on her belly, the warmth radiating off of him sinking into her bones as he sent a comforting reassurance along their bond. Her eyes were growing heavier by the moment and it wouldn't be long before she slipped off to sleep, but Seren's final words roused her enough to response, "Goodnight, Seren. I love you."
The Nightshade couldn't make herself stay awake long enough to hear if the starchild returned the sentiment, but that was alright. Even if Seren didn't say it, she knew that she did, the feeling of certainty following her into sleep as she finally drifted off.
Tomorrow morning would be filled with pastries and warmth and a new light that made the day seem easier. The two women enjoying a moment of respite before the world made things harder for them once more.
~FIN <3~
