How much of the fragmented world tainted beneath tyrannical rule did she know.
Nothing.
A sweet lie against caged tongue, flimsy the barrier such poor excuse for protection offered. Yet tight had grown her hold, accepted through necessity, fragile heart locked behind reinforced walls. She knew, heard the din, never silent war enacted upon land she had become a stranger to. Within the waves, their crashing conclusion reverberating through her diaphragm and tasted among the heavy tang copper painted against brine laden air, driving it from her mind.
Undercurrent beneath floral perfume, fine strands embedded with remnants of prior work. Apart of him, innocence washed away beneath the tacky wash of crimson. Involuntary movement, lips shifting until crowned once more with the ghost of her sorrow, back shrinking. "No." Strained murmur slipping past without review, taunt grown the line of her lips, broken only as teeth sunk deep, worried along as heavy hung the word.
Coward she that withdrew, further the veil closed. Pale the wash, light filtered through fine membrane, away whisked his shaded presence. A child raised on pretty lies, given all she may need and that beyond, affection untested. No need to move beyond, discard the falsehood such simple safety enclosed her within, once more away turned as each breath ended with an audible tremor. Differing the plan, grand scheme not to be discarded, reality a harsh lesson she may face. Part slow, averted eyes still as the light grows within intensity, hushed the murmur pulled through clenched teeth, reluctance detectable on each drawn out syllable.
"I had no reason to leave." Finally his eyes sought, though overshot, over shoulder her eyes settled, devoid once soft visage grown gaunt of all. You are not him. About thought swirled, desire to allow floundering excuse to arise brushed aside even as thick grew her swallowed guilt.

We woke up to the thunder we huddled under covers, we didn't say anything, if you hadn't come over I would be so much colder, I would be much less confused. and then the water came and washed it all away, it left me with nothing to say. could not believe my eyes I could not recognise your face in the rubble
