How Your Touch Heals

Lillian
With his touch, I learnt that it was okay to heal.
From a young age, I’ve known that all I needed was myself. I’ve dealt with the scars on my skin and the turmoil that burdens my heart. I suffered my pain, and I do not need more.
He swept me off my feet, touching me as if I was all that he could see, as though I was deserving of his attention. He held me like I was a single piece, instead of scattered, unsalvageable slivers, and I couldn’t stop myself from needing him.
Is it okay to want to be his?

Sebastian
With her touch, I learnt it was okay to love.
At 18, I became one of the world’s most powerful men. Leader of the Ariti Mafia, my new title gave me power. I thought that was all I’d need.
But then she showed up with those doe eyes, and I swore to myself I wouldn’t lose anyone else, but I needed her. I couldn’t stop the way I was drawn to her, to the way she touched me, as if I was worthy of her affection.
I won’t let her go, she’s mine.

We found each other again, as we have in every life since the day the gods bound our souls in an eternal dance.
