the insides of her throat were sticking to each other
beads of sweat on her cupid's bow
slowly running down to the tip of her nose
the stone was cold against her forehead
fingers so tight and so taut
that they were shaking
but from the outside-
they barely brushed the stone
so calm
to anyone who would've looked through the stained glass window
she was just praying,
though there was no sound
a young girl, just praying,
crouched on the ground
"excuse me,
are you alright?"
that was a voice she knew
he wasn't supposed to be here yet
her fingers stopped moving
the turmoil inside her freezing
she was alarmed
and annoyed
she slightly pushed her forehead into the floor
kissing the ground, she stood up
"I'm perfectly fine, thank you.
I'm done praying-
I apologize for taking so much time."
she didn't even turn to look at him
head down, she turned towards the half-open window
ready to jump out,
thinking about why she didn't hear him come in
"you weren't praying"
amusement in his voice
and that was when she made a choice
she halted
the sunlight
making colourful patterns on her face through the glass-
it froze
and slowly, she turned
there he was
an apple in his hand and a daisy tucked his ear
amusement on his lips- and
a
"you're lying, and I see that when I'm not supposed to so I win"
attitude in his eyes
challenging her- clear as summer night skies
"and she finally turns."
she narrowed her eyes
"she has a name."
his expression softened
"I know"
eyes narrowing even more,
she raised her eyebrow
"alright then" she murmured
and yet again
faced the window
"I'm julian,
by the way"
he called out
"believe me,
I know"
a sigh
"of course you do"
she turned once again
she could envision
their fingers touching
shoulders bumping
bodies hugging
blood flowing,
knives twisting
he exhaled, lips parted
and she mused,
finally-
it has started
