βΒ i can stay, if you want.Β β / pony @ pearl
the record scratches bounce across the hardwood floor of pearl's hotel suite . the last chorus of ' something ' is the only sound that breaks the silence , apart from their feet shuffling in time . pearl's listening to his heartbeat , cheek pressed against him , and she feels as though she could cry .
finally .
with thoughts of belonging and longing and home and happiness , he speaks , and she closes her eyes . it's the first time she's felt peace in years . truly - since she was last with him . " i want that more than you know . " the smile that spreads as honey does on warm bread is serene , content . it's just for her , and him , if he wants it . " there's no way you're getting away from me . "
