Sneak Peek
A few lines from future chapters of COTD, even if you can't really tell. These are rather spoiler-free...consider them somethings like trailers for a movie...only just lines from a story.

"I have everything I could possibly need."
"Everything a perfect man could possibly need, but we're human, aren't we? Aren't you? Surely, somewhere inside, you must know that. You'll need love and you'll need happiness and you'll never find it this way. There's only one thing you can't give for your heart's desire. That's your heart. Sometimes the price is just too high."
~~~
A sad smile touched his lips. "Let me go, idiot."
He felt her chuckle against him, hiding a sob. "Can't...you'll have to pry me off..."
~~~
Something had changed between them, so softly at first that it had taken her this long to notice it, the subtle shifting of the winds in the meadow.
She had an inkling outside Raven's cottage that afternoon, when his eyes had pulled her in with so little effort.
What had alerted her more was the fact that she hadn't wanted to free herself, content to stay captive in his gaze forever, frozen into crystalline memory by the power of his intense stare.
She didn't know quite what to make of these new feelings for him, or perhaps, she didn't want to analyze them too closely.
~~~
Feeling a deep blush rise in her cheeks, she mentally berated herself. She should not even be there. Did she have no sense of modesty? What was she thinking?
She wasn't thinking.
~~~
Sooner or later, one of them would have to leave the other. In a fight, a war, a death. Whichever way. But you live, you love, you lose, and then you go on. Let it all fall down.
The greatest gift anyone could ever give you after they leave, next to love, is the strength to move forward.
But not yet.
They'll hang on as long as they can.
Maybe people were just really made that way.
~~~
This time, she knew why she couldn't move away.
She wanted this.

End of the previews for now, guys! Hope it sparked your interest!
