I lifted her up, placing her cheek above my heart. My fingers stroked her hair, marveling at its softness. Such a fearsome thing, my little warrior goddess.

only we could have pretended for just a while longer.

NAHHHH IM DONE IM FINISHED THAT FUCKING LINE IS CRIMINAL!!! C R I M I N A L

“Thank you for seeing me, Kiara.” I kissed her cheek, the corner of her mouth. “Thank you for reminding me of the man I wish to be.”
