He let himself be pulled closer, listening to the story quietly. The loss ached his chest, though he did not know what to say to it. His cheek pressed into Nox’s hand, brows knit with the understanding of losing someone like that. Raffe off all people knew the cost of such casual violence. They’d both been the ones left behind.
The kiss was soft, and he leaned into it slow, savouring its taste. One hand reached to the back of Nox’s neck. Feeling stirred, twined deep with desire. He let it wash over him before he pulled free, though not away.
“I wish I could have met her,” he said. It was a heartfelt sentiment. Nox spoke about Aurora often enough, though Raffe had not known the whole story of her death until now.
