My Last Violet
As much as she didn't want to admit it, it was comforting to have something of him so close, so close to her skin at all times.
It was like a point of safety.
Something to hold on to.
"Violet, my hearing is very good, but...it has a limit" he joked "so tell me...what came out of those beautiful lips?"
"Nothing you should hear" she let out embarrassed, her face a clear, sharp crimson that went all the way to the tip of her ears "I kept my voice down on purpose..."
"But if you did, it's because you had the slightest hope that I would listen" she tried to punctuate, with her characteristic wit "so, theoretically..., I should listen."
