Felicity walked through the Manor alone. All her friends had opted for staying in the room and sleeping. Which was perfectly understandable considering it was midnight.
As she walked she hummed a tune the words almost forgotten in her memory, even though she had heard the song only yesterday.
"Shaking like a leaf, Afraid to lift my eyes." Felicity frowned when she couldn't remember the next stanza of lyrics
At the other end of the Manor Archer was awake too unable to sleep, even at this late hour. So he stood from his bed and began a walk around the buildings halls to calm his whirring mind. Out of nowhere he began to hum a tune he had heard on the radio the day before.
"Afraid of all your glory, Ashamed of all my pride." He sighed in frustration as none of the words from before or after the lyrics came to mind
Felicity walked through the halls not caring where she ended up just focused entirely on trying to remember the lyrics now.
"Then you call me in." She knew there was more it was on the tip of her tongue.
"To your holy place. I fall down," Archer furrowed his brow in frustration, his mind would not be still enough to focus on the lyrics.
"Down on my face." Felicity resisted the urge to scream out as the anger built inside her. It was simply just weariness that made her so emotional but at that point Felicity wasn't thinking rationally
"And I beckon you for mercy" Archer was also resisting the urge to cry out, his mind would not be still!
"And I beckon you to forgive everything that I've ever done." Felicity gave in and hummed what she couldn't remember and sang what she could.
"And I tremble." Archer said in hope of remembering at least another line, to no avail.
"And I tremble." Felicity sung nearing the kitchen. Thoughts of food clouded her mind forgetting the next couple lyrics.
"I am just a man, Showered in your grace." Archer looked at the open door to the kitchen with relief. He hadn't eaten all day.
"You're the holy god, Your glory fills this place." He heard the voice resonate from the kitchen table but in his drowsiness he couldn't place the voice.
"And I beckon you for mercy." He added finishing the stanza he remembered, walking into the kitchen and fumbling around for a light switch, finding none he just grabbed whatever had been for dinner that night and began eating it cold.
"And I beckon you to forgive everything I've ever done" Felicity couldn't place the voice either but thinking around the soup was a hard thing to do, even cold it was great. Nor did the lighting help her cause.
"And I tremble." Archer said around a mouthful of his dinner.
"I tremble" Both silhouettes said together. Suddenly the lights switched on and Crest stood in the doorway. She took a long look at both Felicity and Archer sitting side by side eating soup and turned around and walked back to bed.
"None of this ever happened." Felicity said firmly.
"Agreed."
