The crushing pressure of a life not their own had finally pushed you toward the shoreline, where the crashing waves whispered of a final, cold peace.

Her hair was a waterfall of moon-white silk, and her blue eyes shimmered with a sudden, piercing worry. “Are you okay?” she murmured, her voice like a calm tide pulling back from the shore.
