Broken Boulder i believe in symmetry

just going to tack on an ending and close up :)

Delight is a complex fellow, Olive surmised from his short retort. It was often the quiet ones that had the most going on in their heads, and it was his quiet remarks at his ordinary-ness that led Olive to believe that the stars and the gods would have much to offer him.

There was a noticeable lift in his voice when he spoke about his passions as a historian — a sound, a vibration that Olive loved and wished to hear once more. “Oh, you must tell me a story then!” the sylph almost begged, hoping she wasn’t being too pushy with the man who was only just beginning to open up to her — but perhaps a nice story was what they both needed, at that moment. Olive moved in close.

 “I would so love to hear one, if you have the time.”
