#breaking nova

Sin nisiquiera saber lo que estoy haciendo, deslizo mi mano a través del asiento, hasta el regazo de Nova y envuelvo los dedos alrededor de su muñeca. Apoya la cabeza en el asiento, su ritmo cardiaco se acelera, antes de regresar a un ritmo continuo y constante. La sensación de eso me tranquiliza, porque me recuerda de que hay vida en el mundo y que los corazones siguen latiendo, incluso después de romperse.

Besides, it's more peaceful when it's raining. It means everyone else is inside and you get the whole world to yourself.

Hearts do keep beating even after they break.

Stuff happens. We get lost. We try to control what will happen. We give up. We do things that don’t make sense. We search for things in the wrongest of ways. We lose our way, but sometimes, if we’re really, really strong, we manage to find our way back.”

But sometimes stuff happens and we find ourselves lost, and suddenly we're standing in a place we don't recognize and can't remember walking - or falling - there, and we're unsure how to get back or if we even want to.
