She knows me.
She has my heart in her hands.
But could she ever love me?
She sits there, smiling in that way that makes you feel safe.
Dark mass of curly, beautiful black hair, flipped onto one shoulder. She sits up tall. She smells like spring.
Interested in everything around her, she gives me her full attention. "Talk to me," she says, like I'm about to tell her something fascinating.
Awestruck, I whisper her name. "Stay," I say, and my voice cracks with my begging.
She knows me. Her smile tells me she knew what I was going to say.
What I've been saying for the past few weeks.
She leans in, touches my knee.
Then she gets up, and starts running.
Prequel to Swans of Atlantis
