Embry's brow raised at the sharp, 'No'; his lips curling into a small smile. He had missed that voice so much within the brevity of hours that had passed since he had last heard it. So defiant and so... independent...
He wasn't prepared for her to show herself right then. The sun painted its glow like oil on canvas, smooth and lustrous, upon her honeyed flanks. Pools of melted butterscotch appeared from the darkness; flickered like lamps within the sudden burst of light. The brilliance of the scene stopped him in his tracks. Chin lowered. Shoulders slackened.
She fished for words and he waited, patiently; politely. He didn't dare break his gaze — he just stood there, in the stream, happy just to be exactly where he was: with Feyre. The only movement that marred the statue of his frame was the stir of droplets falling from his stained, maple fur.
"Yes, but I'm here," his words were calm; resilient. "And I'm not making the same mistake twice." His sea-green gaze implied, I deserve this. I deserve every bruise and every break. Let me have it.

I stopped an old man along the way,
hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies.
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you".
