As the moon chases the sun

She knew he was there, could feel the magnetic pull of his presence at all times. It physically ached a bit as they walked in silence. Things had changed between them and it scared her, she had never been so close to someone as she was with her twin and it scared her that their relationship might be damaged permanently… all because she had been an idiot.

There was so much pain, she had hurt him so much and she wasn’t sure she could ever live with what she had done to him. Solaris settled down and she took a few deep breaths before finally speaking.
