〆 — @eueclid , ❝ so what happened after he climbed up the tower and rescued her? ❞
the bed of marigolds beneath them cushion his movements, his body rolling onto its side to stare at her as he continues his story. lips parted yet words cease to fall, cobalt hues lost in the beauty of her features. the way her hair fell to the ground, caressing her cheeks as a few strands fall loose. she was beautiful, she was everything, she belonged to him. even if the world stood against their relationship, he would stand against the world for her.
❝ well ... ❞ he finally speaks, one hand reaching out to fix the hair obscuring her vision. ❝ he didn't just rescue her from the tower, but her life. they ran away together & started their own family. they lived happily ever after. ❞ his smile lingers as he lets the silence fill, eyes admiring every inch of her before he rolls onto his back & sighs with relief (& jealousy of his own story). ❝ wouldn't that be the life? if only it were as easy as the story itself. ❞
