I missed you in the storms

The sound of his elbows softly touching the ground drew Zee's ear and she glanced his way, hating the sadness she saw swimming in his eyes. It brought her no pleasure to cause him pain, not after he'd rescued her from the frozen north and returned her home. Pushing him away hurt her as much as it hurt him, but Zee had to protect herself from stumbling into the chasm that had formed between them. "Somewhere inside I know that, but it doesn't make me feel any better." She could only trust him so far, and though she knew with every fiber of her being that Sirius would remain faithful to her while she lived, the anxiety still gnawed at her.

His next works shook her, and Zee's ears pulled back tight against her skull. Admitting to him her fear had taken all the bravery she could muster, and he turned it on her with an ultimatum. It stabbed at her heart, and she felt tears welling up in her eyes. "I thought.." Zee drew her lips into a tight line and took in a deep breath. She needed him with her, couldn't he see that? "Then you shall have all of me." Her eyes cast downwards away from him once more, her tone detached and defeated. "I want you to stay."
