Andric Roche & Lizzy Hail Months ago, Andric wouldn’t have known where to look for her. When the discussions became too heated, and Lizzy needed space to breathe and quiet to think, she would have slipped out the door and Andric would have needed to rely on Booker’s connection to her mind to find her, and make sure she was safe. Now, he knew he simply had to seek out the nearest source of running water. Her attention stayed fixed out towards the horizon as she watched the ebb and flow of the ocean, but she’d sensed his approach because she didn’t so much as flinch when Andric’s arms curled around her waist. She settled against his chest, her head resting against his shoulder, and he bent and curved around her smaller frame until he could study the profile of her face, bathed into the warm glow of the sun as it crept its way into the sky, marking the dawn of a new day. The urge to kiss her was ever present, but as her electric blue eyes began to sparkle with sunlight and the colours of the dawn began to chase themselves across her face, the urge became overwhelming. He traced peach across her cheek with a brush of his lips. A streak of gold across her brow, shifting to orange as he kissed her temple. Burnished bronze lived in the shadow beneath her jaw, and Lizzy sighed. Tilting her head until he could chase the colours along the column of her throat. And she relaxed in his arms. The tension leaking from her frame in response to the tender touch of his lips against her skin. It was reassurance in the sunlit silence, and grateful trust in the brush of her hand against his own where they sat clasped over her stomach. Slowly, peace was found in the many wordless reminders that she was loved. Hey there! Do you like my writing? Feel like supporting me so I can write some more?
