#utterly romantic

An outsider may look at him and think he is a perfect kneeling statue of grace, of virtue.

Though on his inside, blood rushes through his veins, speeding up to pump his heart faster and faster. Thoughts whirl like lost leaves on an autumn day through his mind.

Until a soft touch lifts his chin, and the world slowly stops spinning before going silent. Tender fingertips burn into his skin. They grant him permission to gaze up.
