The air, which had briefly tasted of damp jasmine and hope, now carried a metallic tang—the smell of a currency that hadn't been minted yet.

He pulled out a glowing mass and struck it. Clang. Clang. Clang. The sound was musical, a heartbeat of steel. With every strike, Julian poured his defiance, his history, and his love for the woman above into the metal.

Ardyn never forgot to mention how much she disliked them in any of our conversations about them. “I wonder why you dislike them.” Gold said, looking at Zyra with puppy eyes. “It was what the man always gave her after every abuse stating that it had thorns just her.” Gold’s smile vanished immediately. “But I guess I’ll start liking them because neither of you have thorns and are abusers.” She walked to Gold and gave her a peck and whispered something in her ear, almost loud enough for me to hear. “Make sure to know what he can do and not just his hands.” I could see Gold turn red; she was blushing.
