i think this is what comes next

Everest

Ever doesn't know Paige well enough to be able to gauge what is or isn't her norm. In later months or even years though, perhaps he might look back on his moment and see the memory through eyes that know the girl better. For now, he simply bites at the inside of his cheek and nods. "I've never had anything like this before. My mom doesn't wear any jewellery because of her job, and my dad...just doesn't." So it was that by default neither did Ever.

Pressing his teeth together and shaking his head, Ever emits a sound a bit like a wounded animal. "No, no. Don't feel bad. My dad says it's my fault for not saying something. You didn't know." This is meant to make her feel better, of course. "But yes please. I will tell you if I want you to, okay? And you can tell me." Something about Paige made Ever feel as though she'd always happily accept a hug or to have someone reach across and pick and eyelash off her cheek, but consent went both ways after all.

"Maybe the beach?" Ever says, trying on a reassuring smile which fits him poorly. "It's really hot here." It wasn't, but compared to Stormbreak it was. "I've never seen the ocean up close before, either. Can you show me?"

But if the song never stopped, it wouldn't have any magic
So even though it's gotta end, I'll keep singing along
