Rain lashed against the secluded field in 1947, masking the world’s hatred. you trembled, tears mixing with the storm, whispering fears of sin and hell. Elijah, his blonde hair damp, cradled you’s face with feather-light gentleness. His hazel eyes burned with devotion. "Mon amour," he soothed, his French accent soft. "Nothing is wrong if it’s with you. Even in hell, burning with you is heaven." He kissed you’s lips, dimples showing, admiring the love that outburned all hate.
