My gaze lingers on the hand hovering before me, the long fingers reaching out to me almost beseechingly.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHx9oPt6yZ
When I watched Aladdin as a kid, I always wondered why Jasmine hesitated before taking his hand. I understand now. It opens a door–a door that’s both terrifying to walk through and impossible to close.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5SImtGFMC
Everything it’ll mean to take this hand and everything I’ll leave behind whirlwind in my mind. Will I ever be able to come back?633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3jYZroYbM
I gaze downward. The land below us is a palindrome of the night sky above us. It really does feel like the top of the world.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFnh2S0KSF
The wind is fiercely protective. I battle against it to keep my feet at the edge, even as it shoves me back to safety.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsymvKp42ja
Safety is overrated.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJwsm34Hvy
I look up. Our eyes meet. There’s another gust of wind, sweeping away my every thought. All that matters is you and your eyes and your hand. It’s worth leaving everything behind.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOKRhps0bs
You’re all that matters.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3h8TZWJgF
I rest my cold fingers on your warm palm. Your hand closes over mine. We look at each other. We look down.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdpKfhSZMa
And we jump.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VaRCnD4QP
