Before love Lies
I wrapped my arms around her, holding her close in the cold darkness of the cave, knowing that whatever happened next—whether we survived or not—this moment would stay with me forever.
Before she could finish her sentence, I leaned in and pressed my lips to hers. They were soft and warm, and for a brief moment, the world beyond the cave ceased to exist. Fear, war, and uncertainty all faded into nothing as a new feeling filled my chest—one I hadn’t felt in a long time.
Hope.
