It's empty in the valley of your heart

She was his lifeline

She healed a piece of Dorian’s heart to make his magic flow freer

He thinks of her when thinking of Happiness

He wanted to say yes

That there is only her

That he wants ALL of her

- talk back to her

- give her leadership advice

- challenge her orders (minus Asterin)

- sass her

- insistently flirt with her

- hold her

- be on top of her during sex

- be dominant/assertive

- make her so nervous her hands were shaking and knees buckling when they went on a mission and it was “some of the longest hours of her existence”

- comfort her

- hold her hand

- tease her

- make her consider marriage

- make her admit she cares

- see her vulnerable

- make her smile in times of strife

Things she let Dorian do:

the invisible life of addie larue | new york city, september 4, 2013

cleaning or wipe your bare feet

breaking off a piece of bread and handing it to someone

putting the weight of a basket on your hip or head

eating nuts or berries while hunched over close to the ground

seeing something startling just out of your line of sight and very quickly stepping or leaping on to a larger object to get a better view

cupping your hands into running water to wash your face

the unanimous protection of a baby or child in a public space where women are present

Touching someone’s face with the back of your hand to see if they have a fever

Stopping to watch animals moving in groups (geese, fish, horses, butterflies, bees)

huddling together for warmth when it’s cold

marveling at sunlight through leaves

wonderment at the brightness of a full moon
