She was always radiant—like a star, but even Nora dimmed stars when compared. From the moment she stepped out in that dress, he was gone. He nearly lost himself.
Being around her was never hard. It was always easy. Nora was the easiest being to be around.
She could go from tearing off a vampire’s head, to smiling like a child over city lights during the holidays.
They struck balance over the years.
But as easy as it was to be around her, to live with her, to be there when she woke in the mornings…it was so much more difficult to be near her and not want to stroke her hair. Run his fingers over the scars that peaked out of her dresses and blouses. The marks of iniquity left on her.
The hatred for purity in the form of a living, breathing, being.
