Longing Hearts Novels & Stories

Lisa observed him from afar, her heart aching with a blend of admiration and longing. The silence between them was punctuated only by the rhythmic galloping of their horses, the sounds of nature providing a haunting backdrop to their journey. Lisa's emotions swirled within her, a maelstrom of worry, admiration, and a deeper longing that she dared not fully acknowledge. She wrestled with her own desires, torn between the urge to bridge the distance between them and the knowledge that their paths diverged for the time being.

Of each other and of oneself: of all the things they might have to do, may want to do, are doing to one another. It's a year of longing. Every inch of the body yearns for something more. The limbs are caught in restless tremble, and soft sighs linger on desperate lovers’ lips. Like on Helen’s. In her life, she has loved many things, mostly trivia. Black coffee in the morning, smiling strangers in the park, and the sense of freedom that crashing waves on stormy shores would wash into your heart.

We were also running out of mountain. The black heart learned from failure with obscene speed. It abandoned the broad shape of the office and narrowed the memory to one specific line of force: touch. Fingers at the back of my neck. Breath between us. The tiny pause before everything changed. It stripped away witnesses, walls, and context until only the charged space between two people remained. Then it poisoned that too, trying to make longing itself look like surrender.

And it makes me stop breathing for a second because I can feel it, the emptiness she’s describing, like the echo of a room stripped bare. “Nothing made sense, you know,” she continues, and I hear the inhale she tries to pass off as steady but it trembles at the start. “There was frustration, annoyance… and at the same time there was longing.

His hand twitched under the pain, then he flung me aside. The impact sent me crashing to the ground, but in that instant, I saw his hand twitch forward on reflex, only for him to clench it tight and yank it back, leaving nothing but venomous hatred burning in his gaze.

I had time to think: At least I'll see him. Then impact. Then nothing. --- Eleven forty-two. The numbers glowed red on the nightstand clock. I stared at them, my heart hammering against my ribs, my body drenched in sweat. The sheets twisted around my legs like restraints. Eleven forty-two. I knew that number. I'd watched it burn itself into my memory. Time of death:— My hand flew to my chest. Whole. Unbroken. I could feel my heartbeat, fast and frantic, but there—there, pounding against my palm.
