she wasn’t sure she’d ever get a full nights rest again . it seemed as if every time her eyes closed she was back in the forest , landon lifeless before her , her heart shattering into a million tiny pieces . a feeling she was no stranger to . but written in the story behind her eyelids , he didn’t rise from the ashes . hope gasped herself awake , eyes opening only to find herself pressed against him . he was alive , breathing , awake . her head lifts from his chest , emerald orbs finding his , a sigh of relief and a genuine smile spreading across her lips in response to his mere presence . ❝ do you want to do something ? ❞ she asked , ❝ sleeping seems . . . hopeless . we could , i don’t know , take a walk ? watch a movie ? build a fort ? ❞ the last part was only a joke , but at this point , she just needed a distraction . @thriftstorehobbit
