The first night Aurora laid in Maleficent's arms, her heart stopped, accelerated, squeezed, and stuttered before finally settling into a strong, constant rhythm. Exhaling, moving closer to the faerie, nose burying into her warm, thin neck, Aurora's hand curled over her breast. Sleepily, she imagined their heartbeats felt the same.

Shifting, relaxing her wings, Maleficent pressed her lips to Aurora's forehead. Her hand settled securely over her heart.

Aurora searched glowing, bright eyes. "The same?" she hesitantly asked.
