✱ ACCEPTING | WRAPPED UP IN YOU PROMPT. | @charmedcoven
˖ ❘❚ ❝⠀⠀i missed you more than i know how to say.⠀⠀❞
“ 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐭, ” raine's breath catches, a fragile sound, half—music, half—ache. their fingers twitch, as though to reach her, then still midair, voice soft enough to fracture. it carries that tremulous ache of a melody played under glass ━━━ restrained, distant, trembling against its own cage. “ i felt it too, ” their hand drifts upward, then hesitates, trembling midair before folding back to their chest, as though even contact would unravel the fragile geometry of the moment. the faintest smile flickers, fractured at the edges ━━━ a ghost of warmth filtered through too much solitude.
“ i wanted to come back sooner, ” they whisper, words drawn out like threads unraveling from a long—kept tapestry. “ every night i thought about it. but the coven was watching, always watching, and i couldn’t risk them finding you, ” their gaze finds her then ﹔ that wildfire of a woman, all feral curls and stubborn defiance, and something in raine's composure gives way, quietly, without spectacle.
