“He just… fucked off, again. He fucking… he just… keeps leaving.”
“I’ll walk with you, if you like?”
Theo offers softly, taking off the glove she wears on one hand, tucking it into a pocket and moving to take Leigh’s hand, her eyes flickering closed for a moment, peace washes over her so quickly and she can’t help smiling at the soft squeeze Leigh gives her hand.
Peaceful, she thinks as they walk, always peaceful. Steven hates that she can do this, can touch and hug Leigh, that she refuses to see what happens when she touches Steven, even a little.
The lamplight makes the streets bright. Stoned walkways are rare, usually, but this one feels like home. Theo has walked it so many times, so many different times, but never with Leigh before. Now, hand in hand, she finds peace floats over her again, deeper, true, pure love and happiness freed between them. Steven had always wanted Leigh, but Theo had always been her soulmate.
