|| Dear Winter || AJR ||
They stopped in front of what at a first glance, appeared to be a giant pearl. Winter fell silent, able to hear the music from the surface. She had been sensing strange vibrations from around them for a few miles, but had said nothing, not wanting to spoil the surprise. Winter closed her eyes in order to hear it better, a smile coming to her face. Their sogn was otherworldly. Not haunting, but beautiful. It reminded Winter of the ocean breeze. Their voices carried on the wind, the boat lulling back and forth gently. It almost made Winter sleepy. "I love it," it was a nice surprise. Not something Winter had expected either, which was refreshing. "Thanks you two," she smiled. Winter found herself smiling much more often than before.
"Winter, you're crying." Serenity said suddenly, leaning over to wipe the tears off of Winter's face. "I am?" Winter blinked, not having realized it. Her vision blurred slightly and her eyes began to stung. "I guess... I'm just happy." They were happy tears, "I used to feel so trapped and now... I truly feel free. It's amazing, isn't it?" She felt her heart flutter in her chest, "To be free," the music had suddenly stopped, the Nereids having finished their song. Was this all they had in store? Winter didn't know. "That was really fun, thank you for bringing me out here." She clapped when the song had finished, unknowing if the nereids could hear them.
If there was something that she didn't understand, it was her own heart. Winter's emotions were still a maze that she was attempting to navigate. She felt numb some days, while others were entirely too overwhelming for her to handle. It was an adjustement, that was certain. Perhaps that was why she was struggling with what would happen tomorrow. That and Winter had never expected to live this long. Some part of her had always expected to die under the Doctor's care. She had almost died plenty of times, but for some reason, she was still alive. Did she deserve to live while so many others had died? Did she deserve this second, third chance? Why was she thinking all of this the day before what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life?
"We have more surprises in store," Serenity said, turning the boat around. It hadn't taken them too long to get here, if the wind was on their side, it wouldn't take that long to get back. "Can I have a hint?" Winter asked, holding her hands together in her lap to hide the slight shaking in them.
