As she stands before him in the garden, staring at his face which makes even all of the prettiest flowers here jealous, the words that she made up just burn inside her, and their ashes fly out of her in the form of a sigh.

"I want to live here." Those words escape her before she even realizes parting her lips.
Severo's face crumbles into a frown, his thick eyebrows creasing together as he cocks his head to the side, the action more animal than human.
