[ marta's read enough of these kind of books. she knows how these stories go. -the brave and daring hero, the unassuming and soft-spoken maiden. a life-threatening, high-tension situation that leaves the both of them on edge, teetering on the precipice of a moment they won't be able to turn back from.
marta never considered herself the kind of person to lead a story, not even her own. but the way kovacs looks at her, the way he makes her feel — maybe it's possible to have a starring role after all. maybe it's worth it to try.

You have me, Tak.
[ he's so close, she barely needs to whisper so he can hear. so close she can reach up and thread her fingers through the strands of hair that have fallen over his eyes, tuck them back as he's always done to her. and if her fingers drift from there, down the cut of his cheek, trailing gently over the mouth her gaze has dropped to? she doesn't seem to notice. not when her whole heart has lodged itself in her throat, ready to burst out if she doesn't say — do — something too. ]
You have all of me.
[ he's so close, she need only tip her face up to shatter that distance and cross the line they've both been dancing around all this time. maybe this isn't the time, but she kisses him like they've got a wealth of it anyway. ]
