 today's kiss is pulled from Rivener, a post-apocalyptic fantasy novella i'm rewriting and expanding!  ↳ in which Wren is a woman with a ruinous ability, Kai is an enslaved wolf shifter, and circumstances conspire to have them relying on each other for survival. Nowadays, Wren tends a garden—not just of herbs and vegetables, but of flowers too (though they’re mostly the edible ones). Nowadays, she spoons honey into every cup of tea she has. Nowadays, she spends hours and hours doing nothing more than lying in the sun. Nowadays, she lets her power exercise itself in whittling little figures out of wood or stone, and gifts them to everyone who wants them.
Nowadays, she is living, not just surviving. And sometimes, life fills her with so much joy that she can’t do anything but drop playful kisses all over Kai’s face: cheeks and nose and brow, wordless and happy and brimming over with it, and he shares in her joy, beaming wide, and returns her kisses. Because nowadays, Wren is at peace.
