hi i’m actually finally working on something—this is a follow up to and I was set alight, because I have not known peace since I read the M route in the book 3 demo (no spoilers here though)
Just outside the door to Morgan’s bedroom, Eva waits. Bottom lip between her teeth, rocking back on her heels just for something to do while she’s standing here. She runs a hand through her hair, in a gesture that she knows she has picked up from Morgan, and just waits.
She’s not going to knock.
If Morgan wants to talk to her—and that’s a big ‘if’, now; that’s an ‘if’ she hasn’t had to consider in months—then it won’t be long before she opens the door. There’s no way she doesn’t know she’s here.
But what if she doesn’t want to talk?
What if this entire thing was a mistake?
How long is she going to stand here?
Too many questions, too many what-ifs. This level of uncertainty isn’t something Eva has to deal with often. Then again, nothing about this situation is; she’s never felt so off-balance in her whole damn life.
(Nothing, not even the bounty on her head, has ever felt so life-or-death as this.)
You should get some rest, sweetheart, Morgan had said, low and not unkind, thumb brushing over Eva’s lips, and they’d left it like that. Left it like that after a kiss that still has Eva’s mind reeling, a kiss that felt like—like nothing else she has ever felt before. Not even a single point of comparison.
Shit, Morgan, please open the door.
