    Summary

    "Take me away, please," she leans into her lover's hand, feeling his strangely smooth fingertip traces a faint trail of tears, his eyes a shade colder than the golden ring around her finger. "Take me with you."

    He brings his hand to his lips. It tastes of budding numbness—old pain and hollow sadness.

    Golden eyes, glistening with tears, catch his attention once more. A question—no, a plea—in her unwavering gaze. But he resists.

    "It's not time."

    [TW: this fic explores themes of forced marriage, emotional & physical cheating, suicidal ideation, and death. Please skip this fic if any of those make you uncomfortable]
