Stay (Sinclaire x MC)
Summary: After her father’s funeral, Catherine spends long hours by his grave, unable to say final goodbye. Until one gentleman appears, wanting nothing more than to help her with her pain and grief…
Note: I was replaying D&D and I remembered about that sad idea I once had and I just HAD to write it down before forgetting about it again… It starts with angst, because of course father’s funeral but the ending is fluffy-ish? It is also a part of @mariamulroney March Challenge for prompt “Rain”. Hope you will like it! <3
Catherine has always found peace in the rain.
In its silent humming, that soft noise always causing her to smile, waking her up so often in the morning; in the way the raindrops were sometimes hitting against the windows, playing their own melody, a strange music incomprehensible for human ears; in the way the water drops were streaming down the windows, painting pictures, drops meeting together, halfway, to finally create a thin, slow rivers against the glass, yet almost never repeating the same path and in the smell, the one rain was always leaving, that freshness, humidity, almost like it wanted to show that whole dirt was gone, that the world has been cleansed and the new day has come.
She has always found peace in the rain.
The melody of the rain, always so soothing and almost magical, felt like the biggest interruption, making her unable to focus on her own thoughts; the raindrops, always marking their way down the windows were now streaming down her face, mixing with her tears, falling on her clothes, hair, almost like every single droplet wanted to mark the girl as its own; and the air, always so fresh, so cool, felt heavy in her lungs, every taken breath being the greatest effort and pain.
Today the rain was bringing her nothing but despair, only reminding her of her own sorrow and the place and situation she was in… It was almost like even the sky over her head wanted to say goodbye to the Lord of Edgwater, crying over the loss of this amazing and kind men who was taken way too early from this world… Catherine felt one cold raindrop, falling onto her neck, right under her dress, where it streamed down her spine and girl shivered, the unpleasant feeling making her come back to the harsh reality she was in and letting her realize that all around her was nothing but silence…
