Ivar's POV
And I look at her, just her
The way she flawlessly sits on the horse, all dressed in white like she was on our wedding day
The ethereal beauty that is almost too painful to witness
That skin that I yearn to touch and the smell of her in the air that shoots up in my blood like dopamine.
I look at her and she looks at me as the world around us become black and white

Nova's POV
Looking at him my heartbeat fastens and slows down at the same time
His eyes dart into mine, leaving me speechless.
Years of pain melt away like wax when I look at him, the way he flawless exists
My broken heart mends, just by his look
As the air become thin and crisp while he walks towards me, sending shivers down my spine

Narrator's POV
Ivar walks towards Nova as the vikings form a circle around them, everyone curious to know what will unfold next
"Nova?" Ivar mutters as his eyes shine
Nova at loss for for, breathes through her mouth as her chest rises and falls
"I can't believe I am seeing you, you came" Ivar says dreamingly as his brothers watch a total different side of him in absolute shock
Nova still unable to speak, tries to speak but to only fail at doing so
Her hands and legs shake as Ivar stands a few meters away from her and her horse
"You ..." Nova gathers courage to speak
