Love's Healing Touch
His voice was raw with memory, the kind that still stung even after healing had begun.
“And now?” she asked, her voice soft, her heart bracing.
He didn’t speak right away. Instead, he reached out and cupped her cheek with his palm. “Now, I feel it every time I look at you.”
Elara blinked against the sudden burn of tears. She leaned into his touch, her fingers wrapping around his wrist. “You make me feel it too.”
They stood there a moment longer, not needing to move or speak, their hearts catching up with the truth that had been growing between them all along.
