Valentine's Dream
the last 50 words of the 14th
Must be a dream
A trick of the blue light
How my heart fluttered
Taking that leap
One single moment
Of bravery, hope, and love
*Deep breath*
Here I go
Ask the question
And wait
Not for long
'I accept,' she says
Is this a dream?
Must be a dream

The Cost
There is always a cost. Not the dramatic kind people imagine, not the cinematic sacrifice that earns applause, but the quiet, relentless toll that transformation demands. The cost begins long before you rise and continues long after you land. It threads itself through every choice, every boundary, every refusal to return to the version of yourself that once made survival look effortless.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

This is so cool! That moment when someone accepts a marriage proposal lasts an eternity and always causes a swell of emotions. You captured it beautifully! ⚡💙⚡
This is so sweet! Good work!
It wasn't a dream, if she accepted, or least I hope not. Well Done!!
