Author’s Notes: I am so sorry that this is extremely late, but I’ve had the flu for two weeks and I’m just getting better. My sincere apologies to everyone in the community and the mod. This will not happen again.
The pot of tear cooling on the stove.
A book of white magic spells pushed under the door.
A white cape that will never get worn.
A black rose in a book.
None of these items should matter to Raven. The person who sent them shouldn’t matter to Raven. But the book has been held with trembling hands, the white cape packed away carefully, and the rose preserved.
None of it should matter.
Not the kiss they share in a dark corner or the feeling of Robin’s bare hands on her skin.
Yet, more than anything, it matters.
It matters.
