Chapter Text
Tell me we don't have to leave
Say we can stay forever
That we can always be
Just me and you together
'Cause this moment is all that I want
The best feeling in the world was knowing that he didn’t have to let her go. Ever.
Usually Jordy wouldn’t have taken pleasure in that. Usually he would have wanted to get away, to fly off, to find a place where responsibility didn’t plague him. Usually he would have wanted to run as far as he could from the place where he was required to be Ivy’s one and only forever.
But this felt good. It felt right, and Jordy was all for pursuing what, for inexplicable reasons, felt right. It was, in his opinion, the place where God and man met and instructions were given.
He brought her home to Keefmore and set up a cottage, and they had their own little castle away from everyone. As far as he was concerned, this could be their home forever.
Standing on top of the world
Hands up in the air feeling so alive
Screaming at the top of our lungs
To the rhythm of my heartbeat beating tonight
They walked together almost every day above Keefmore, up into the moors, to watch sunrises and sunsets and talk and talk until surely, surely there’d be nothing left to talk about—but there always was something.
If she had taught him to want forever, he taught her to embrace change, excitement, differences. To throw herself into life, even into the simplest factors of life.
He never thought he’d convince her to dive into that loch, but he did, and she laughed, and it was perfect.
Your eyes are my sunrise here
She was his everything, and he willingly promised forever, again and again every day.
