Hushed Willows it hurts until it doesn't

When things were meant to be, there was a sense of flow that one felt that was undeniable and unshakable. The universe was always on their side and when they were following their path, the powerful force of karma would smooth their course — and just the same, karma could make their live incredibly difficult, and try to course-correct their descent into madness. Olive spent so much of her life battling forces outside of her control instead of listening to them and being entirely complicit with the gods’ intentions for her. Now that she knew how to read the ways of world, everything came a little bit easier. Everything was a little more obvious. 

The dove felt that flow here and now, when she and Seabreeze came upon Delight mere moments after they commenced their search for him. Surely it was not entirely chance that he was nearby, which also gave Olive a sense of comfort and a sense of belonging. If he wished to be close to them, even unintentionally, then this thing they found blooming between them must be real.

It was this thought that kept ringing in her mind as Delight greeted both of them with a hug and a kiss — and she noticed the almost imperceptible linger as her scent registered upon his faculties. She shivered from his nearness and touch. Feeling the full weight of the moment, Olive looked to both her mates, eyes lit with fire. “We know that love is the most pure cause in the world, yes?” she asked them redundantly. "Then what comes after this can nothing but a blessing.”
