The Last One; Cut From the Refrain

Alex’s questioned look was a requiem for his serious face. The man tightened his grip, clenching a fist upon her shoulder, and sighed a pallid breath.

“They’re bodies...light, were believable in my eyes...having been burned forever in the mind, to nothing in the sun. That queen. My brother loved her, even till I had put that knife in her back, and still he continued to follow her sin into the inferno.” He was grim, and looking down into the shade of violet, sharply-cut hair. There was pain in his eyes, she saw, and hatred for his brother, as well more of what he had done to him.

“I won’t reject.” She spoke, mouth warmed, and filled complete with her kiss. And a smile.

“With my waking breath-in-words, I will whisper...”

“...I will love you.”
