* ⊰ @puzzleboxed ⊱ 𝔯𝔢𝔡𝔥𝔢𝔞𝔡 . ↳ i want to walk through flowers , be mistaken for one .
SHE IS SURROUNDED BY PEONIES , BLOOD - RED AND SHINING . they’re like satin in the half - light , the blazing sun lowers its head and nods off as readily as a tired infant . lucy is sad to see it go . kirsty becomes quite candid after daylight hours , however , the inside of this girl’s head is horrific .
lucy cannot blame kirsty for such thoughts , they’re twin in her own mind . she reaches for a peony and is shocked when her fingers don’t come away sticky and crimson . the stem breaks with a soft , snapping sound . she holds the flower out to her friend , a sad smile on her face . the smile of a woman who knows not the answer to ease this sort of pain .
❝ i do not think it would be difficult to mistake you for something beautiful , dear girl , as you are pretty . ❞ she lets her take the flower , hoping that will help . not much can heal what’s left behind by the box that breaks all hearts . lucy supposes kirsty is only lucky to have escaped with so much intact .
