Summary
“But as a nickname,” he says cheekily, the mirth in his voice compelling you to face him again. “Stars seem to suit you. They’re a light in the darkness, brilliant and warm. But so far out of reach.” A large hand comes up to tuck a stray lock of hair behind your ear. “But if you reach out, and if you’re very, very lucky…one might come to you and fall into your hands. Like a shooting star.”
For a second, you can only stare at Phainon. The heat from his hand ghosts across your cheek as his fingers still at your temple.
How could you have ever imagined his eyes as empty? When they look at you, they sparkle like the clear blue sky. A faint smile tugs at his lips. He looks…at peace, for the first time in ages.
Then you have to ruin it by opening your dumb mouth. “Are you flirting with me?”
Your whole life is uprooted at a young age thanks to the threat of Black Tide, leaving you floundering. When you meet Phainon, he gives you stability, love, and kindness.
It's absolutely perfect - until it isn't.
