Wings like a fairy, eye of a monster. She had been told to be the latter for a majority of her life, spoken by people who had never made an effort to get to know her for who she was as a person. Once the word of a cursed sort of magic went through town, your sudden reputation would always precede you.
With him it had been an extreme sort of different. Not only had she harmed so many people she had been supposed to care about, and she saw that now, but him personally as well. Multiple times. Nothing seemed to make him want to distance himself from her, no matter what she did. Why? Why?
A sigh slipped past her lips as they sat in silence. It was so difficult for her to show any trace of vulnerability but nobody was around to see her take this step and it helped to comfort her. Perhaps she finally could muster up just a little more courage and ignore all the voices in her head telling her that she was not worthy of any of his attention, that she would only bring more hurt, as she reached for Elfman's hand to intertwine their fingers.
