Summary
"You concern yourself a great deal with other's romance, Cole. Why do you think that is?" Maryden inquired one evening near the end of their stay, as she strummed a few bars of "A Garden's Grace." Her tone was curious, with a faint edge of something Cole could not name. He pondered her question from his seat on a stone wall, looking out over the dark water and the shivering reflection of the moon.
"People need help," he shrugged, "with that, more than anything else. They keep their hearts in cages, safe, but sad. Sometimes they won't admit their feelings even to themselves."
Maryden hummed – that note again, that little undertone of…something.
"You would be good at it. You could write a song to weave two hearts together, like harmonies." That brought a smile back to her face, though she still wasn't looking at him, and her next words made him tense.
"Could I do it for myself, I wonder?"
Cole wondered who she'd need to snare, that way.
Cole and Maryden embark on an adventure, and find something more along the way. Written for the DA Reverse Bang 2025.
