Priceless

  *Daniel’s pov* I tried and tried to find something worthwhile in Rose’s cabin. I didn’t find anything that seemed out of work. I don’t know if I could ever call her Aubrey. She will always be Rose for me. Rose. Delicate, gentle, and strong. I needed to know what secrets she was hiding that was troubling her. I would not think twice before taking all those horrible things away from her at any cost and hiding her safe from the entire world. She deserves calm and peace. She deserves everything. Just as I get searching the last cupboard, the shrill ring of my phone alerts me. My stomach twists when I see it’s Sophie calling. I had this weird feeling nagging at me that I pushed down not so long ago. “Is everything okay?” are the words that drop out of my mouth just as I answer the call. “Dan- Daniel, um,” she takes a breath in before continuing, “um, I think you should come here-” I end the call before she says anything more.

  Author's Note:  And I am back! I apologise for such a long break. But finally, the story needs to continue... I would suggest skimming over the last blog if you've forgotten the setting, I am adding its link here if you'd like... the story begins again :) https://ishitaswordsoffire.blogspot.com/2021/11/fights-and-burgers.html ------- There is a certain comfort in just existing at the moment when no worries of the uncertainties could harm you; just pleasant existence without any thoughts running through your mind. It is the state of tranquillity that we all long for. Daniel was in such a wonderful state of bliss. There were too many questions indeed but none of them mattered at the moment. The way Rose’s slow breaths filled in the silence made him forget that things weren’t how easy they felt. The way her sweaty hair gently fell over her face and covered her eyelids made it hard for him to believe if she was even real. Very gently, careful as not to break the porcelain
