The Beta's Daughter FIFTY-ONE | SUNDIAL
There was said to be an old sundial, lost somewhere deep within the forest, buried amongst the conifers and pines. It was so told that one could not find it, no matter how hard they looked, no matter how close it may have seemed.It was said to be blue in places, cracked and decaying with age. It had withstood the elements for years, shrouded by the trees as it was, slowly marking the passage of time using the fragile, splintered sunlight that fell in dapples into the woods.Time fell upon it, cast in shadows and as fleeting as one.

I didn’t want to use this conversation to say that, and I hadn’t realised that I’d felt that way until I’d said the words.I made a split second decision to keep talking, so as to prematurely silence anything Samyak may have had to say on the matter.“At the time, it felt like love. But now I’ve met you I know that it was not. With each passing day I feel more for you, and it settles within me, constant and stable yet somehow exciting, restless. It’s like… it’s like it reckons hours for months, every moment passes in a flash when I’m with you, but every time we’re apart the time draws out slowly; your absence passes like an age.
