âCome outside,â Tallora said, once her hair had dried. âThe sun will do you good.â
They appeared in the garden, a gentle falling of snow greeting them. There was a whole world outside filled with pain, a great cataclysm on the horizon, but for the moment, Dauriel was everything.
Evidence of snow covered the statues and skeletal remains of trees. âWinter doesnât come to the seas,â Tallora said, adoring how the flakes fell upon her hair, reminding her of Yalerisâ domain. âI think itâs beautiful.â
âI donât find many people who enjoy winter,â Dauriel replied, her melancholy matching that of the scenery.
Yet, though they said winter was dreary, Tallora couldnât see it. She held out a finger, catching a single, miniscule flake, smiling wide as she stared at its perfect form. It melted, its beauty fleeting, but Tallora thought there was poetry to be found in that. She caught another, giggling as several collected upon her fingertips, then noticed Dauriel watching, adoration in her gaze.
Tallora kissed her shamelessly on the mouth. Dauriel returned the gesture, deepening the kiss with her tongue as they embraced in the winter gardens. Let the people see them; let them gossip. Tallora had seen tragedy, had witnessed death, saw how fleeting and beautiful life could be.
She would cherish it all, for as long as she had it.
Gloved hands caressed her hair and figure. Dauriel pulled her into a warm embrace. Tallora brushed gathering snow from Daurielâs doublet and hair, blushing when the gesture was returned. âWhen I was a little girl,â Tallora said, âmy father would tease me and say my hair was like the frost on the glaciers in the north. It wasnât until I was much older that I saw the truth in it.â
âIâve never seen hair like yours,â Dauriel said, stealing a strand with her fingers, pure white against her black gloves. âWhen I first began falling in love with you, it was your hair that would linger with meâI once found a strand of it on my tunic when I was your keeper and couldnât bear to throw it away.â
âThatâs terribly creepy,â Tallora teased, and Dauriel laughed. Tallora squealed when Dauriel grabbed her and pulled her back against her chest.
âOh, extremely,â Dauriel said. âIâve never felt a small emotion in all my lifeâI went from hatred to adoration to obsession quicker than Iâd prefer to admit.â
Tallora giggled, the hints of the asshole she loved peeking through in her safe moments. âTell me more. You were obsessed with me?â
âI still am.â Daurielâs cheeks colored red, and it certainly wasnât for chill. She released Tallora, who held her hand instead and tugged her along. âI simply try to keep it contained, otherwise Iâd never stop ravishing you.â
âOh, wouldnât you?â Tallora grinned, overjoyed when Dauriel matched it. âDonât I get a say in this?â
âCertainly. You get to say âyes.ââ
Tallora swatted her lightly on the chest, enamored at her flirtatious words. By Staellaâs Graceâit felt so delightful to laugh. âI have a question,â she said, her curiosity peaked, and Daurielâs mood stable for the moment.
