She let the cold of the wind embrace her as night bloomed overhead, darkening the sky. Shadows moved as the sun receded, making the shadows stretch and lengthen. The darkness touched Anu, and Geneva fought the urge to go to her again so they could be alone in the dark together, or find someplace light. None of this made sense to her. All she could do was try to breathe. The rush of air in her lungs felt cold, but she welcomed it. Anything was better than the warmth that pooled in her chest looking into Anu's eyes, the way her body heated up as her blood quickened. No, she couldn't do this. She couldn't choose this or even consider it. Her eyes lingered on Anu as she looked off into the distance. When Anu finally spoke again, Geneva didn't stop to think. She turned woodenly, walking through the door in quiet desperation. She kept telling herself that there was absolutely nothing to keep her there. And she knew she was lying to herself as she took the stairs two at a time, breaking into an unsteady run as she left the lighthouse and took off into the night. She took off into the dark, hoping to get lost there. Hoping that if she went fast enough, got lost enough, even she wouldn't be able to find herself. What had she done? |
