She hides beneath the bridge, waiting.
Every day he crosses. Stops for riddles. Stays longer for her sweet laughter.
He regales her with tales of the world above. She shares secrets from below.
All of which she can spare, except one.
One day she riddles him this: Would you like to know me, truly?
Impassioned, he says yes. Encouraged, she clambers into the daylight.
She is a beauty and a beast, magnificent and terrible.
He sees only a terrible beast.
Revolted, he gallops away.
And she, all her secrets stolen, returns below to the darkness that loves her.
And waits.
So many feelings in about 15sec. I love this ❤️
