Her Darkness, His Light
I could only gaze into his eyes.
"I finally think about stuff that doesn't involve ruling. I have other goals I want to meet, other ambitions. All this is because of you."
"I couldn't possibly have done this much for you Phoenix. Surely it wasn't just me."
"But it was......just you."
"People can only change you if you allow them to do it with an open heart. You changed yourself too, you know." I smiled up at him while I held both his hands. He leaned in, bringing his lips closer to mine and for the first time, I didn't instantly move back, flinch or freeze in fear. I was calm. As our lips were inches apart, my wings started their fluttering again.
