Evangeline should have felt embarrassed after losing all the air in her lungs when she shared her first kiss with Jacks.
She should have felt petrified that his kiss could cause her entire body to malfunction that easily or the fact that it could have killed her.
She should have been more afraid to actually kiss him but she wasn’t.
She was ecstatic, grateful, and so beyond happy.
She had taken a grand risk by confessing her love to him but the greatest risk of them all was doing something she’s been longing to do.
She kissed him.
She kissed him.
She had wanted to feel his lips pressed against hers for much longer than she’d care to admit but the wait was worth it.
Evangeline always believed in fairytale endings and happily ever afters, she just didn’t think hers would take her on a journey like this.
This all started because of her desperation to put a stop on the wedding her “first love” was going to have and where she sought out to find the Prince of Hearts. She never would have imagined what that would bring her.
A handful of curses, endless amounts of guilt, hopelessness and hopefulness, vampires, and true magic.
New friends, new enemies.
Yet she wouldn’t change it for anything in the world, if anything she’d do it all again.
She’d do it all again if that meant she could stay in his arms, listening to the steady and soft heart beat of her Jacks.
Because he was hers.
And she was his.
There was no better outcome from that kiss than that, it was only the option. She knew in her heart that it was and she was correct.
This proved that their pure and strong love for one another could withhold any and every thing.
Her love confession and that kiss was all Jacks needed. He had such desperation for it but that was something he couldn’t admit.
A bigger part of him was fighting against it because he was scared. That was something he could admit since she already knew about his first fox.
That part of him couldn’t fathom losing another fox, let alone losing her. He couldn’t bring himself to lose himself in her, in his love for her and possibly kill her with just one kiss.
At least that was until she fought for it.
After that first kiss, his love confessions came out like a prayer or maybe more like a promise. It just spilled out of his mouth like magic.
He wasn’t as stubborn now when talking about how he felt, that was one way Evangeline’s kiss changed him.
He thought these new profound feelings would scare him but they didn’t.
Feelings all these things for her came natural, it was as easy as taking a breath of fresh air. As easy as taking a sip of water to quench his thirst.
He should have known he’d fall for the rose haired girl from the start, her prayer to him may have been silly of sorts but it showed the kind of person she was.
And he was so hopelessly in love with her.
I read the books and recently finished ACFTL and my brain started writing for them😭😭
I love them sooooo much and ugh I can’t stop thinking about them:’)
