I would fall from grace just to touch your face
"It is. I won't lie. I- I'm struggling to find the proper way to handle things with him. It would be easy to slip back into what we were before, but that isn't possible at all." Maeve sighed, shaking her head even as she looked down at Edmund, a small smile curling on her lips at his gummy grin he gave her. There was an ache in her chest that wouldn't go away, but looking down at his happy little face did wonders for smoothing the rough edges of her heart that chafed and rubbed her raw.
Maeve glanced back at Ray, nodding before she shifted Edmund over to the small bassinet that she kept in her office, keeping her eyes on him even as Ray shifted behind her. Aidon lifted his head, moving to sit on his haunches beside the bassinet, resting his chin on the edge to keep watch over the babbling babe. "That sounds good." The Nightshade confirmed easily, straightening up so that Ray could easily comb through her hair, working the snarls out of her curls until they laid smooth once more.
It was only about an inch that Ray was taking off and Maeve was more than happy to accept it. This was much better than the last time she cut it. Over twelve inches in one go was not what she had in mind originally. This time, though, it was much more manageable. "Perfect."
