summary: curiosity killed the cat. / lucy&lorcan, finding cracks.
cast away
ϟ
it wasn't even something they could control, it was just -
/
don't think, lucy, he says to her one night. just be.
/
but she can never 'just be'.
/
lucy finds holes in everything.
places where people have gone wrong or left a question unanswered.
and that's exactly what she does.
/
she kisses him goodbye on night when he's sleeping, because she isn't brave enough to leave him when he's awake.
/
when he wakes up, there is a blast of coldness around him.
/
lorcan wonders for years what happened. everybody does. one minute, she's here and the next -
gone.
/
when he falls asleep, he whispers to himself, goodnight, as if she was still here.
/
but he should've known she would have found a way to wriggle herself out of this.
/
- over.
