His hand on the jut of her hip, lips to the back of her neck, low voice murmuring, pressing kisses. Afterwards, the two of them lying on the grass - a decidedly human moment - planning where they'll go next. Just the two of them alone, fingers intertwined, maps drawn in the dust.
(Heaven.)
His eyes shining, tears of pain - of grief -, voice hoarse from howling in rage, teeth bared like a wolf. Alicia's name thrumming through his veins as Arra watches him and knows that this is the man she has chosen and he can never love her the way he loves a ghost.
(Hell.)
His eyes meeting hers over the crowd, twinkling and soft. Lips quirking, hair fluffed up. Alicia's ghost has disappeared from his face, and he looks more whole than he has in decades, the half-vampire assistant whom she beat on the bars earlier standing attentive at his side. Like father and son.
Arra Sails doesn't know what to think anymore.
(Maybe this is reality.)
