His frame indeed engulfed hers, the brightness behind closed lids dimmed in the shadows of him. She remained facing skyward, yet a single eye cracked to observe his steadfast strength; the hard lines of his face enticing her to follow every ridge, every dip, every scar.
To some, he could be a living nightmare, hacked and carved by battles, from loss and pain, made of granite and jagged brimstone. To her, however, he was a dream sculpted not by ruin, but by resilience—weathered, yes, but all the more beautiful for the scars he carried.
She was quiet for a moment as his words drifted around her like a steady melody. Finally, she stood, her eyes finding his as a soft smile bloomed, her head cocked slightly.
When she spoke again, her words were soft in volume only, they were hard in the way tides crashed upon land, the angry storm that lived within her threatened to burst her resolve.
Sunstone eyes dragged away from the water to clash with his, a curiosity made of fire built in her chest.

Ever the sweet-talker.She hummed a chuckle as she stepped forward to walk the pool’s edge, eyeing the way the water glinted as the sun peaked through clouds.

I do not wish for any more betrayal. Not from dreams or memories, nor from the sea and those who have deserted me. Not from anyone.

Tell me, Solharr…can a heart stitched together by hope survive reaching for something as fragile as a dream?
