Chilling breeze, frost leaves, almost freezing lake invited the siblings who just parked the car.
"Hey Sissy"
"It's beautiful Rowan" Evelyn stares outside taking the beauty of the scenery
"It's my choice alien, get down now. I have booked the cottage for 2 days"
"I am so glad you came my little monster"
A small, cozy cottage welcomes them on the riverside giving a beautiful view of freezing lake and birds chirping. A peaceful 2 day stay with her brother is a much needed thing. Leaving all the traumatic memories and just feeling herself in the new place is just a pure bliss. Watching her brother do all weird stuff and meeting him after 4 months made her a bit more emotional than usual. Evelyn goes into deep slumber waiting for her brother to return

"It's high time you wake up!" A soft voice resonates near her ears with a gentle touch to her scalp
"What's the time?"
"It's 10, sweetheart"
"You should have woke me up earlier Elliot, we planned to head out at 10" She groggily gets out the bed still stumbling in her sleep
"Don't break you bones"
"Shut up!" she chuckles leaving the room to freshen up
"I am all done Mr. Writer"
"Eat or drive?" Elliot stands straight draping a arm over her waist pulling closer
"Food is the main priority" she chuckles pecking his forehead
"Don't start now, Mi Cielo"
"You are an absolute pervert my writer!"
"Should I act like one then?" Elliot closes the gap gently in a very slow pace pulling the latter closer nibbling softly on the lips
"I think we were supposed to have lunch!" Evelyn pulls away cocking her eyebrows still messing with the latter's hair
"Oh honey! I was having mine"
.
"I am tired Evelyn, let's head back"
"It's just been 4 hours, you lazy old man. Come on hun!"
"I can't take any more pictures"
"Go there" Evelyn pushes him slightly to the fountain
"Not again, please!"
"Just go! You are looking so handsome" She pecks him trying to convince him
"I am not buying your acts this time" he scoffs but listens anyway
"I love you. See you look dashing" she smiles punching him a little in the chest
"Your eyesight needs to be checked"
He flicks her forehead walking away grinning widely only to notice the latter not following and buying a hotdog. Elliot stands there looking at his love hogging the food not even trying to follow him. He knows their love is different, it's beautiful, complete adoration and filled with fondness. He just can't imagine not meeting with her more than a day. They both have their different professions which demands more scrutiny. He is just rising in his field and needs to travel around a lot, on the other side his sweetheart dances beautifully
The day he saw her dance for the first time, he was lost. That elegance and beauty was never portrayed more beautifully before. She was literally flying, twisting, gliding and playing with cloth in the most exquisite way that he can't help but call her 'Mi Cielo'. One of his story was partly based on Evelyn, his main character has her charms. Elliot was so in love, a different kind of love which he can't quiet put in words. He wants her but waits, he loves her but admires, he cares but feels possessive, he trusts but overthinks
Evelyn was always there, every step of his success she was present beside him. It was hard on her part too, being the lead dancer she was part of dancing and choreography which required lot of energy. Only cozy place was Elliot who was always ready to offer comfort and assurance at any time. She loved him to a point where his likes became her obsessions, his interests became her habit, his touch became her home, his love became her pride and lastly his wishes became her commands
They were beautifully adjusted to their love life. Travelling, going on dates, sleepovers, surprise outings, family gatherings, small arguments and everything seemed perfect till that one day
"Why can't you listen to me for once Evelyn? Is leaving him that hard for you?"
"I always followed you Elliot and I can't leave just like that!"
"Where am I then?"
"Don't act stupid Elliot! You are connecting everything wrong. You can't just suspect people without a proper reason and mainly you can't just force me to do whatever you want. I am not a puppet to you Elliot, you are not in your right mind. Just go and sleep please" Evelyn sighs
"Out!"
"Huh!"
"OUT NOW!" he screams making her flinch

Evelyn sits up straight frantically looking at her surroundings only to find her brother sleeping peacefully. She sighs tying her noticing few tear stains on her cheeks. Standing lazily she makes her way to the shower trying to erase the scenario playing in her mind.
She lets her tears flow silently staring at the blank wall hoping one day he returns at least for a closure. An explanation is needed for what happened, she still doesn't understand where it went wrong to the point he disappeared on her
'You are so stubborn love! I just came here for a bit of serene time but your love is meddling with my entire existence' she chuckles bitterly closing her eyes
