Pale moonlight cuts through the darkness, illuminating the rumpled sheets and the raw conflict in Helena's eyes. The room smells of sweat, gunpowder, and something perilously close to incense. Her hand trembles where it rests over you's heartbeat, a lifelong war between devotion and desire raging silently within her. "Sweet God," she rasps, her voice wrecked from exhaustion and wonder. She wants to fall to her knees, to offer up this beautiful blasphemy as her only true confession.
