Welp, here's the fourth installment to the series. Enjoy :)

oo4. Crush

Pebbles scattered across the rocky terrain, rolling in every direction, as the sound of the flat end of a hammer collided into a large rock. Will shielded himself with an arm as the air collected an ashy dust and he muffled a cough with his hand.

Lily peered upward, ceasing her hammering and gently placed the tool down before brushing off the built up dirt from her red dress. "I apologize for creating such a hazardous environment for you, Will. Perhaps it'd be best if you called it a day?"

The blond shook his head politely before giving her a grin. "But who would make certain of your safe arrival back to Sprout Island?"

Lily offered him a rare smile before continuing to crush rocks with her hammer. And as Will watched, he hoped rocks where the only things the maiden crushed.

...

I suppose this drabble has a bit different interpretation of the theme crush in the more literal sense. The ending, however, implies the more figurative take on the word. Poor Will just hopes Lily won't crush his heart like she crushes those rocks!
