there was something missing. something she couldn’t quite process in the depths of feeling she harbors for @magikbled. it felt as if , somedays , there was this unexplainable pull naturally gravitating to him. there was no controlling it , not even if she wanted to. it felt like there was more there , more to unravel but as far as she reaches there's and end. a line that makes her swell with yearning to understand. at night there's these beams of fragmented images , memories that stand to deceive rational notion of a long since past of full of tumult , visons plaguing her dreams with malefic carnage. but the signs were starting to piece together that there was more there and she just needed to find the key to uncover the truth. it hadn't been long since the first time their eyes connected and now he acts like he’d take over the world for her. grab the sun , moon , and stars from the sky above and present them on a silver platter just to see her eyes bask in happiness. and the others , small gives that anyone without her analytical sense would overlook. there was something else there , there had to be.
nimble hands work diligently through different sections of the apartment , searching through layers and layers of art and history. noting different styles continuing changing and evolving through the centuries. pressing her fingers against the dried paint just to feel the curves and edges. there was so much passion , a museum nestled in such a small space. it felt like him. all of it.
she hums to herself as wide and curious brown eyes survey the room , memorizing each end and corner to find anything that would lead her to a clue to everything she's been seeing and feeling. a small box with jewelry she suspect marks centuries past. there's a warmth to them , just that alone had her stomach heated and knotted. it felt close.
she wanted answers , she wanted them more than anything now. and then she spots it , a trunk off to the side. it was hidden , it looked old but taken care of , she could tell from the warped coloration of the metal that clung to it's outershell. one of the few things she hadn't dug through. a small breath lingers past her lips , settling on her knees , slowly unclasping the latch and lifting lid. brows slink together , trying to formulate an understanding of what's nestled between her palms. paintings , charcoal portraits , all images of her. one after the other. the jewelry found in the small box is seen fastened around her neck. every one after the other was like peering into an old mirror , and for a moment she couldn’t handle the truth she’s been yearning for , liquid saline brimming the crevices of her eyes. thumbs gently brush over the pristine yet tattered edges. even anew with a set of footsteps echoing closer , she couldn't pull her gaze away.
