    Summary

    "What you are is beautiful." 

    It was the first time Beatrice had heard such words spoken to her. 

    And for so many years, she thought it would be the last. 

    But time was a strange thing. And as Beatrice would eventually come to learn, moved slowly when one had the potential to live until time itself crumbled. 

    And as she moved with time, she clung to those words. Her name was Melanie, Beatrice learned later, and she clung to her for as long as she could. 

    Beatrice had resigned herself to never hearing them again, not from another's lips, and certainly not in her dreams. 

    Vampires, Beatrice realised quickly, didn't dream. 

    She never could have known that one day, more than five hundred years later, she would hear those words again. 

    Or how those five simple words from one specific girl would change her entire world.

    Summary

    It's almost lonely, this new calm in Imogen's head. Usually at the market she'd be treated to Laudna's light, musical inner dialogue about the ripeness of fruits or the bread Zhudanna might like best, but instead it's just quiet. All Imogen gets is what Laudna shows on her face, and the words she says out loud. Words like you don't have to listen in to get my thoughts. I'll always share them willingly. You can just ask.

    There's only one thing Imogen wants to ask right now. It's blaring in Imogen's mind like a temple bell, so loudly that even with the circlet she's sure Laudna must be able to hear it. And Laudna is looking at her so sweetly. Every moment they've been parted has made this all-consuming feeling worse, harder to pack away, and this could be her last chance to say it. Her only chance.

    She has to say it. She has to ask.

    "Can I kiss you?"

    OR

    My take on The Kiss, and what comes after.
