@valanvar ⊱ you were heaven-sent to me, was it never meant to be?

By the gods, she seeks any rebuke she can muster to force itself from her lungs, but no sound answers her wish save for that quiet exhale. ❝ Don't. ❞ How treacherous her heart is even now, even when she knows better. She dares not look at him, lest she fail herself once more and fall into yet another trap of his, more willingly than she could ever admit. There are times when she hears his voice in phantom whispers, but this is real, as proven by the touch of his hand from behind, her golden locks threaded through his fingers. It could be a breeze. It could be a ghost. But no, she knows it is him. ❝ You know why it cannot be, ❞ Galadriel says quietly, perhaps more softly than she should; she catches herself then, the softness of her words fading, twisting into a knife as the sole defense left between them.
❝ You cling to a darkness that I cannot, will not, follow you into. No matter what you think the gods intended in our introduction, you have squandered it with your choices. The blame is yours. ❞ Yet she knows, despite all insistence, that there is an undeniable truth they both know. That she wishes it could be. That she had wanted his ring and his crown and all he offered her. But most of all, she had wanted him. And it's that truth that causes her to soften once more, though she dares not move, neither to bring herself closer nor to tear herself away. ❝ It is not too late for you, ❞ she echoes a plea she has spoken before, her counter to every offer he makes of her. ❝ Let go of this ambition before you destroy yourself entirely. If we were truly brought together for a purpose, let it be this. ❞
