Beautiful work here, Emilia! I love how immersive and beautiful the writing is, and the way you paired it with such genuine and authentic characters made this piece leap off the page.
I love how Emilia reveals things using the most peculiar subjects and predicates, as in: "Collective noise rose as the foot traffic became frantic with the rain’s increasing pace." Once I start reading one of her sentences, just about anything could happen by the end... and the structure itself gives nothing away. 😉
This story feels like seeing the world for the very first time, a second time. Nothing is merely a thing; everything a sensation! Chase is ironically named, as he serves as a sort of quarry for Aiden's passionate pursuit. Reminds me of Richard Linklater's cult classic film *Before Sunrise*... only with bravado, homoeroticism and hematite rings.
If stories like this are merely the table-scraps, I can't wait to see what kind of narratological gems are cached within the deepest troves of Lovely's Lair! I'm sending in my level-18 paladin, to excavate.
Of course dudes do the same. I truly see them negotiating and compromising just like any other couple; but losing each other once, and for so long, I imagine they would value each other enough to always work through hard times and not fall into those patterns of taking and taking until the other burns out. It's very possible for couples to be a partnership based on solid friendship. Romance never goes away; the initial rupture of passion, cools, ebbs and flows and fades into something different. But truly feeling completed by another human and sharing air with someone I think is the pinnacle of any relationship. To me: sharing air and being able to breathe with that person is the most elevated form of a relationship. Knowing that they both mourned each other and searched for each other, I think, changes their outcome. What do you think?

Love the lines❤️
Thank you so much ❤️
"The Universe had other plans." It always does, doesn't it? Great story 🙏
Ive accepted long ago, the Universe does whatever it wants-- we just happen to be in it lol! I'm so grateful you read and shared thank you ❤️
I froze at the folded scrap inside the guitar case~ All that stormy flirting and then one tiny paper comes out and I’m just useless, actually.
What do you imagine happened ever after?
Did you just accuse my beautifully realistic couple of being heterosexual? 👀🤭
