"Then they ignore each other while their shadows stare at each other."
Who she was, who she had been, and who she was becoming, was the unknown that afflicted his so foolish and innocent heart, a question mark found nest and embedded itself like a painful thorn in the bottom of his heart.
The fingers of her hands moved naturally to hide in the hair of a grieving heart, which like hers suffered with the uncertainty of what to do next.
the wind blew lightly bringing with it the scent of memories they both wished they could erase until then.
Dietfried's trembling hands wrapped around Violet's long skirts as his face was hidden in the leafy fabric. She knew that the man was fighting a hellish battle and in her heart she understood the feeling that intoxicated him, perhaps no one in the world existed who could understand what they were both feeling.
Violet knelt down to face Dietfried, who without looking at her tried to hide his face, but cunning as herself, their eyes managed to meet and like the rise of the planets, an endless number of stars collided when their gazes met.
The secret of the universe, the one that so many scientists are dying to discover, was trapped there in her blue round eyes, in those mysterious eyes that looked at him like a newborn deer.
Violet took one of his hands and placed it on her cheek, giving him a smile. "Don't be afraid" were the most beautiful words Dietfried had ever heard from her. at last she had decided to give a chance to the world she herself had walked through, with fears and turmoil she decided to bet on this man who showed her his fragility, who was learning like her how to become a human being again.
although she was still confused, Dietfried was the one who had stayed by her side, he was not the man who ran away in the middle of the forest.
Dietfried's fingers slipped through hers and catching them they held hands, they walked slowly back to the house as their gazes were lost in each other.
"Now you have to live until you burn."
