The salty tears that once ran down the pale cheeks were now dry and undetectable. The warmth of one skin against a cold one created an embracing contrast, one that brought tranquillity and peace. It was a much-needed touch after a few rough days of forced distance, as though it was a breath of fresh air that filled a desperate void that longed to be noticed for a while.
The tips of her fingernails moved around the bare chest ever-so-softly , slowly and gently enjoying the smoothness of the skin. She listened to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat with delight, allowing herself to sink into the feeling of contentment.
"I'm sorry."
"I've already told you you have nothing to be sorry for." He replied quietly as he took in the sweet scent of her hair.

"There's so much I know about you and yet so much I don't. And besides, I'm sure you have great, interesting stories from the past. So - favorite masterpiece?" She explained indifferently as his smile widened with disbelief. Sometimes he really wished he had known how does her head works.
"Uh.." He scratched the bristles of his chin thoughtfully as he went over the memories of his past in his head. "Have you seen the painting of the shore near a castle in the library?"
