My gaze lingers on the hand hovering before me, the long fingers reaching out to me almost beseechingly.824Please respect copyright.PENANA8JjXaUWzak
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.824Please respect copyright.PENANAfWglY4zCN0
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?824Please respect copyright.PENANAt68QmLthJI
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.824Please respect copyright.PENANAeF0u69noxT
The wind is fiercely protective. I battle against it to keep my feet at the edge, even as it shoves me back to safety.824Please respect copyright.PENANAqxyzZBbOPc
Safety is overrated.824Please respect copyright.PENANAHFcZ50uISr
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.824Please respect copyright.PENANAFY66uIq8Jy
You’re all that matters.824Please respect copyright.PENANAhZVlHS6uOc
I rest my cold fingers on your warm palm. Your hand closes over mine. We look at each other. We look down.824Please respect copyright.PENANAzjFtyxiK5M
And we jump.824Please respect copyright.PENANAyZZ46GtBGy
