Chapter 18: Lorcan, Lucy and Scorpius
Candle flavour: cinnamon stick
Extra prompts: cobblestones, palm leaf, kingdom
Lorcan was...sweet. There was no other word to describe him. On paper, he was perfect for Lucy: they had stuck together at Hogwarts because no one else would talk to them. They were both a little strange, both dreamers and believers - they should have been inseperable.
But being with Scorpius was a kind of magic Lorcan couldn't comprehend. Scorpius was bright, brilliant; a force of nature. Being with him was like a carriage ride down a cobblestone street: completely disorienting, but so, so exhilarating. His mouth that tasted like cinnamon on hers, palms clasped together; it was the kind of rush she'd never experienced before.
Lorcan could promise her a kingdom, a country, the moon and the stars, it wouldn't make any difference. She knew they were only empty words, and that made the choice all the easier to make.
