Title: Gravity Rating: PG Word Count: 100 Summary: Daine wants to love the man she admires. Warnings: Roger/Daine. Notes: Inspired by the MPP Nature, #43.
--
Under the willow tree, it is easy for generations of people to forget their troubled thoughts. A woodcutter, say, with sweat on his brow and worry in his eyes, sees the tree and runs to it. He takes solace in its long, whispering arms and sighs. Yes, it is easy.
But not for Daine.
Cloud is always there to haul her up, to tell her to get a grip. To bite her sleeve and snarl, “Do you want to lose yourself again?”
She cannot embrace him. Not the man with cunning words and silken robes. She cannot love his eyes.
