Harbour (Anamaria/Lucy)

[sunsetdawn20]

“Don’t make me care for you.”

It used to be a casual joke between them, the substitute for an unnecessary and improper Thank you to kill the awkward silence after the money has changed hands. But months and years have burdened the words with time’s moss and what once made them laugh now sounds like a desperate plea for mercy.

It’s not love.

It was time I wrote about those two, wasn't it?

That makes sense. Ana is a sailor to, after all... and all sailors need a harbor, don't they?

*nods* Exactly.
