How to save a life

It was never to tell, if he had misread signs or not. But the second she moved her hand behind his neck, metting him in the kiss, he knew he had been right. There was something about the moment when he kissed her, her lips on his, it was like they were made to meet in this moment. His other hand found its way to her lower back, guiding her closer to him. Their lips once again parted, making him take a deeper breath in. Not ready to open his eyes and return to reality just yet. Because it he could take it in for just one more moment, let the moment truly be his. Let him have something to hold on to that was his, just for a brief moment. With everything happening around him, it had pushed him, but not in a bad way, in a way where he knew life was fragile and needed to be lived. It was too easy to get consumed with ones darkness and miss out on all the good stuff. The low mumble made him smile, he couldn't even express how bliss escaped him, felt his veins with warmth. "Mmh?" He mumbled a bit but didn't have a chance to say much else, before one again their lips collided.

Once again he pulled her closer with the hand on her back, deepening the kiss as she kissed her back. Ethan had been in love before. Love and expressing love wasn't a new area to him, and he was rarely shy for telling people how he felt or act on it. It always depended on the signs, and if this wasn't a sign to act on - he didn't know what was. But completely consumed by the feeling rushing through his body by the touch of her lips. It was first when the horses started to neigh, that he unlocked his lips from hers again. "Seems like the horses are getting impatient," he mumbled with a softer chuckle against her lips.

He had never thought this kind of emotion would ever find him again, not after having been consumed by such darkness. Odd enough he could feel her darkness, it empowered him in such a way without having the darkness completely overtake him. There was still light. Light in the darkness, he couldn't describe it, he just knew it was there and it was very real. He wished to hold her close, had a burning desire to just hold her close to him, never let go of this or the feeling that was carried with it. The horses ruining the moment was another thing. Ethan took a deeper breath in, as her arms left her neck, and she grounded herself again. "Unfortunately," he mumbled a bit keeping his eyes on hers till she walked towards her horse. Ethan took a deeper breath in and licked his lips, looking over at his horse. "Yeah I blame you," he mumbled in a low voice to the horse as he shook his head. Ethan sighed a bit, he was blaming and talking to a horse.

After they were saddled up and ready to go, and they got outside, there was little to do other than get up in the saddle and set off. There was something freeing about being out in the wild on horseback, it had been too long. He looked forward to Elenora and Archie to come here, they had to try it, he was sure it would be good for Elenora's soul to experience this kind of freedom. Because it was a feeling he hadn't realized he needed before now. Riding side by side with Zoe, towards the hidden gem of a valley. "Oh wauw, this place is incredible," he said completely blown away by the sights.
