It’s frightening for the celestial child when she realizes the newfound comfort Saima brings into her life. They’re a security blanket for the starry gal, playing the role her family once upheld. But they left her … so what if life snatched Saima away too ? Her hand wilts, and the spoon sinks numbly into the melting sundae. The discharged depth of her soul’s tone emits, ❛ You know, you’re one the of the few people I could ever bring myself to open up to after my mother killed herself. ❜ Her ocean blues, they’re hollow.
❛ I know it’s a huge part of the healing process, and I know it’s supposed to help me find myself. But it’s scary when you feel your soul connecting with other souls again, when you start to believe that you have a family. ‘Cause then … what if they’re forced to leave you again, y’know ? ❜
The way that Stella confides in them – that statement making it very clear that Saima was one of the very few people that the other would open up to. That was enough to spark a shattering warmth inside of them. A feeling of connection that was so delightful and yet so overwhelming it was hard to bear. Especially in the aftermath of such events, Saima still found it a wonder that Stella ever bothered to open up to anyone at all.
“Yeah. It’s definitely a scary thing. Because it’s hard when you realize the potential for fragility among those bonds. Even if you were just starting to get used to them being around. And yet, yet there’s a feeling I get – if it helps you at all. That we can be there for each other. In some way or another for quite some time.” And taking comfort in that was the best that they could offer for the time being, in relishing the kind of trust that they hadn’t experienced in years due to always hiding a certain divine part of themselves from others.
