Opening the Floodgates

The world seemed to blur away from the present moment. 

I couldn't hear how loud I was surely breathing with every breath, or feel the worsening aches in my eyes from kneeling still for so long. 

Like always, with pivotal moments like these, everything else that should matter gradually begins to not matter anymore.

There was just me, just Harry, and of course, there were also those dark gazing eyes right in front of me… mirroring mine in more ways beyond just physical resemblances.

As she would presently demonstrate to me now… nudging me over closer so kind and welcoming.
