So quiet

It was a quiet time, a time between battles. The war raged on around them as they sat on opposite sides of the ocean spending hours together. Each was long as the day, but he changed them, manipulated the current. Gave her lifetimes worth of love that she would never fully understand.

“Say it” he urged and she blushed . Pushing away the childish emotions rushing through her; she said it over and over. Her voice composed, but deeply stirred with confusion and years of repressed affection. He could feel the tremble traveling the lengths between them; across the water. The vibrations reached him clearly and the static of the line was smoothed out for just a moment. Her voice numbed all other sounds around it, made them flow with her.

 For a second, everything was in balance. Everything was calm. 

Everything, so quiet.
