and that was the thing about her, she kept on surviving. with bullet holes in her lungs, and knife marks etched in her back. she never let anything get in her way, resilient. A fighter, not by choice. but a warrior at heart.

a burning heart

you believe yourself to be terribly unlovable, and that is why you push away the people who try, because there must be something awfully wrong with them to love someone like you. love transforms you no matter how long you hold it in your shaking hands. you love the way a wound does. your heart has never stopped bleeding since the first moment it broke.

❛ 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐄. ❜ he says, followed by a nod of thanks before taking his seat at the table. as maria continues, there’s a look teetering between amusement and confusion shot in her direction ( though tommy’s mostly amused ). it wasn’t like he needed thanks for pulling his weight, but at the same time, if he went ahead and said something like that it would most likely come out of his mouth in a way that seemed ungrateful for the praise, and he didn’t want that. especially since it seemed like she was trying real hard to get that appreciation across. 

he chuckled softly. ❛ 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋, 𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐍… 𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐍 𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐇. ❜ he joked, but we was in fact feeling a tad sheepish. but setting the laughter aside he nodded his head before looking at her with a soft gaze. ❛ 𝐈 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐃𝐎, 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈'𝐃 𝐁𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔. 𝐖𝐄 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃. ❜

   Just as she places her appreciation along the table next to his dinner, he serves up his own as she settles in the chair next to him. The words and his laughter resonate in her belly and it leaves her a bit tense before she takes a sip of her water to cover any flush of her cheeks, but as she sets the glass down, she can’t seem to hide the small smile on her lips, ❝I don’t know about that.❞ Maria reaches out to cover his hand with hers, her thumb running over knuckles. 

    ❝I’m sure we could go back and forth on how much we appreciate what we do ― for each other and for Jackson ― but you have to understand that without you, I don’t think I would get very far.❞ Their food is growing cold, but she enjoys the soft silence between them, and the warmth of his hand.  ❝Besides, I like the way you look when you blush.❞

   Paper after paper. Her fingers ache with each sign off, with each press of her stamp, she blows a sigh and pushes hair from her face that fell from her bun. ❝I don’t remember having to do this much paperwork before ― what the hell happened anyways?❞ // @spratt​

   Busy days follow with chaotic events. If time isn’t easy to spare before, it sure isn’t easy to find now. One mess after another, and Maria is there to clean up half of it ― Tommy the other, and by the time night falls, they’re too exhausted for anything other than a shower and sleep. 

   ❝You’ve been doing good work out there.❞ His dinner plate is placed in his spot at the table, a smile gracing her lips. ❝I really appreciate what you do, Tommy.❞ // @fuckinpro​

   Her body soaks up the heat of the desert, sands being pushed around by the breeze while people bustle around the cobblestone paths of Blackwater. ❝I really hate this place.❞ She mumbles, leaning against the post where Ophelia stays tied up. ❝It’s so boring, and muggy ― God, I can’t want to be done with this job.❞ /// @vischaos​

   Maria can't actually swim. Poor thing didn't live in an area where she could learn, nor did she really care to learn.
