Who would have guessed that this insufferable, wild-haired know-it-all could be the one to mend his long-dead heart back to life? Certainly not him, but she does. Every time a colleague at the Ministry directs hateful words at him, she stands up in his defence. Every smile she reserves just for him, every brush of their hands, every embrace, and every touch of their lips, her magic needle seems stronger than his piercing words. He feels undeserving of her love stitching up his barely beating, butchered heart, but she persists. She is making it beat the letters of her name louder and stronger every time she reaches out for it with her own.
