"Just one more chapter," I told myself last night. The next thing I know, it's 4am, and it's the end of the acknowledgement section. When I finished watching Merlin (BBC, 2008) and then watched a ton of angsty Merthur edits, I decided I wanted to read THAT, but make it sapphic, and "Her Pretty Knight" delivered. It gave me angst, longing, devotion, and comfort – it gave me all the feelings and emotions I was craving. Absolutely loved it!
 
Also yesterday I had to spend a few hours not reading this book and I was going crazy so I wrote a poem:

Galeon's Letter to Della
Your Highness,
Please allow me to steal just one moment
Alone with you,
To touch your skin so perfectly golden,
To steal a kiss from those so tender lips.
I wish for nothing more 
But to spend just one moment 
Alone with you,
To see a smile playing on your rosy lips
As I give you a burgundy rose flower
From the gorgeous gardens we just walked –
You're worth all the flowers in the world.
Allow me the pleasure of reading to you again tonight,
As you look at me so lovingly.
Let's run away together, Your Highness.
Let's run away together to the place,
Where you could be you
And I could love you,
Freely, with no one to steal you from me.
