"I could tell--the sky went void-like."
She'll tell him the rest of what she did, what strange things happened, when they're back. For now, one step at a time.
Parts of her life start hitting him harder. Pictures of Sicily, laid out glorious before him, then the same hills caught fire, buildings lifted and tumbled askew by a tree taller than a skyscraper. Her small and hands outstretched to bring the hills to life, then her tall--taller than anyone, blood splashed over her hands and face. Apollo grabbing her shoulder, Eros hugging her on a rooftop, her nymphs sleeping beside her out on the grass. The campus of her university, the depths of the Underworld lit up like neon stars. For someone so young, she's certainly seen and done a lot.
