The Upside Down (For Eluuna)

She paused before snuggling back against him again, resting her hand on the side of his neck and kissing the base of his throat.

 

“Hey,” she said quietly, her voice husky from sleep. “How’d you sleep?”

 

“Really well,” she confirmed, closing her eyes and stretching comfortably. “It’s nice to sleep next to someone.”

“Were you ever in love, Warner?”

 

She shrugged slightly, seeming thoughtful.

“Yeah. I was once.”

 

“Yeah. It was a while ago.”

 

She waved her hand slightly.

"No. I mean, we had talked about the possibility of trying to make it work again, but..." She shrugged slightly. "It wasn't meant to be."

 

“What about you?” she pressed. “Weren’t you married or something?”

 

She frowned, brushing aside his collar to trace the scars on his bare chest.

"That's sad."
