A/N: Just experimenting with some new styles of writing. What do you think? I personally like writing humor better...
These are the times he loves her the most.
Her face is hardened, stiff almost, showing absolutely no emotion. The wind is blowing strong from behind her, making her hair blow into her face, so so close to his. He can smell her sweat (her tears); feel her aching in the deepest depths of his (frozen) heart.
He wishes he could put his arms around her and cry. Cry, cry all the pain away. All the loss, all the dead hopes, all the dreams that wouldn't (ever) come true. Cry everything away, sending it all on a salty river of false expectations. But if he put his arms around her, is he just touched her, she'll kill him, and all chances they ever will have (had) together.
She hasn't cornered him on the edge of (the universe) Mt. Tam for nothing, you know.
