'I have to be calm. Don't let yourself go crazy now.' I tell myself as we ride down to the lobby. 'Don't think about her.'
Easier said than done.
What was that?
Goddess, I've never felt so vulnerable and powerful.
When I gazed into her eyes, I noticed every fleck of silver and gold, and much more. I glimpsed our potential future. It was intoxicating.
My hopes mirrored in her, and it's surreal.
Whatever was happening between us, it wasn't the norm. Has anyone else had a bond like ours? Why does it feel as if it'll destroy us?
'If it's so dangerous, why does it feel so beautiful?'
We crave the same things, don't we?
A home, family, peace. Those were superficial desires, but what I found went to the deepest parts of our souls.
I'm not afraid to admit it to myself; I've been so lonely. Nefra and Penelope filled that void, and I hope I do the same. That's what I want most.
Security and someone who sees me for who I am and doesn't run from it.
