Never Going Back Again

Ara was tired. The exhaustion was felt deep within her soul, far more deep-seated than mere physical fatigue. There were so many emotions that had suddenly washed over her, she couldn't even begin to name them - sadness, painful nostalgia, and most of all relief. There was some guilt there, too - she'd just recently told herself she had moved on from Novel, at least enough to sleep at night, and she had also agreed to a living situation with another woman. For now, she would push Athena from her mind, truly too tired to think of such things. She let another soft sigh fall from her lips, the tears still falling much more freely than she wished. She heaved a shuddering sigh as she slowly, painstakingly, pulled away from Novel.

At Novel's promise to never leave her again, she felt another surge of relief wash over her. "I hope not," she breathed quietly, hoping Novel was being honest. Though she knew her intentions were to stay, she knew life didn't always work in everyone's favor - but for now, she was intent on living in the present, not worry about the future. "It's truly beautiful," she breathed softly. She didn't have to hope that Novel would agree, she was certain she would find it the perfect place for them both, especially as they were nearing the end of their lives. "For now, let us rest, then." Perhaps they found find one of their old dens to rest in, until they were ready to head to Lirim together. Gently nosing Novel's cheek, she turned as if to head off, encouraging Novel to follow.
