Prologue 02
June 20th, 2006
It was one of his favorite hobbies and he'd not had a chance to cook anything since…
He shook his head and mentally ticked off the ingredients he already had on hand and what he would have to pick up at the store as he threw on some comfortable clothes.
And then his eyes fell on his nightstand…and her picture.
Tahlvin found himself before the nightstand; his shaking hand reached out to touch the frame before he even realized what he was doing. He had been meaning to take all her pictures down but every time he had started to do so it had seemed as if he were betraying her.
Oh, fuck… His chest tightened as the air seemed to be sucked from the room. With a gut wrenching twist that left him gasping, thoughts of her and what their life could have been tore through his flimsy defenses.
He still had so much he wanted to do with her…to share with her. And what about her? What about all the things she had never told him? Never shared with him? Even after two years, he had still been discovering new things about her.
Torn between a maelstrom of sadness and rage, he reeled internally. Jumbled images flashed through his mind's eye confusing what had been with what could have been. Their life together, their life that would never be…their baby… If he could have drawn breath, he would have moaned.
Gripped by a sort of madness, his vision blurring at the edges, he stumbled out of the bedroom and ran down the staircase.
Only one thought in his head seemed important: to get as far from this place as possible.
Author's Note: You'll have to pardon the super-long shower scene I stuck in there. I admit I got a little carried away. I think I took more than fifty pictures of Tahlvin in the shower. (Yikes…I really am a perv… Oh, well, you would have found that out sooner or later.) Initially, I had planned on only four pictures for the shower scene…but I just couldn't do it—it was hard enough cutting it down to seven (that's not counting him getting into and out of the shower)! Thanks for indulging me. How about we just chalk this up to some fan service?

Fan service or not, that shower scene was fantastic. I enjoyed it a lot.
There is such anguish and loss here, such emotion that is tangible and evident. I find myself being constant drawn into the character's minds, their stories and their experiences. Heartbreaking and superbly written.

Stunning…heartbreaking. The photo on the bedside table which shows her pregnant is so sad.
I love the shots. Elegant, sensual, astonishing angles and clarity, and particularly adore the city shots. Fantastic!

Btw, I love how you added sky/cloud details to almost every outdoor screen, it adds a lot of realism to your screens. great work. :up:
