aaand a random excerpt from ch 6 of ‘write your name (across my heart)’, featuring rosé and ust :DD
The patio is filling up and there’s a murmur of chatter all around them, but for now they’re happy to sit in contented silence, letting the pink wine warm their insides. A chorus of oohs alerts Clarke to the fact that the fairy lights have been switched on -- white and twinkling and winding up the trees, dangling from the branches overhead.
But mostly she sees them in Lexa’s eyes, watches their glow get closer as she leans forward and puts her glass down. Lexa rests both her elbows on the table for a moment, head tilting as her gaze drifts down to Clarke’s lips and lower still. Then she’s reaching out, the pads of her fingers brushing Clarke’s collarbone before they trace the contours of her necklace.
“This is beautiful,” she says. “I haven’t seen it before.”
A flash of heat courses through Clarke and she swallows, throat working under Lexa’s touch. From the look on Lexa’s face Clarke knows that she felt it -- that she knows what it means -- but her hand lingers, touching the star’s top point beneath her clavicle.
Goosebumps are starting to form on Clarke’s skin when Lexa meets her gaze again. This time, her eyes are dark.
