the sound started normal, " happy birthday dear- what the? nev- " the mans shriek and then the woman's. the crash and the rush of air sounding as things caught fire. nevas screamed for help and her coughing. "mama… pleas.. " she pleaded, the draggin sound followed the phone "help… someone.." he voice was weak
Farah slipped Neva's phone into her own pocket and lifted the magic. "Darling, why in the Otherworld do you have that saved?"
" its the only recording of mom i have.." she whispered.
"And you can't even bear to listen to it," Farah countered.
" as long as i have that shes still here! " neva laid her head on farahs chest " i know this isnt good for me but i dont need someone telling me..'
"If you know it isn't good for you, then why do you still do it, my darling?" Farah asked worriedly, her fingers running gently through Neva's hair.
" because im scared if i let go ill lose them.." she whispered
"Darling, that isn't how love works," Farah murmured.
"…" neva curled up on her self, tucking her hea to hide in her knees.
"Do you want me here, or do you want me to go?" Farah asked quietly.
" i dont know.." she spoke softly
"I'll leave, and if you want me back, you can come and find me," Farah murmured, leaning down and kissing Neva's hair before leaving her office and shutting the door behind her.
neva sat in the office for a few before going to someplace. (lets get saul and her alone. btw shes at the place farah showed her )
Saul noticed Neva wandering, then she disappeared down a narrow hallway into the fairy courtyard. Confused for a moment, he followed her to make sure she was alright. "Blackheart?"
neva jumped "silva!" she said quickly and turned around, it was clear shed been crying
Silva stopped short when he took in the tear tracks on her face and her red-rimmed eyes. "Sorry, I don't mean to intrude. Are you alright?"
"y..your fine and yes.. im alright.." she said
Silva hesitated. He wasn't terribly close with Neva, but he could tell she wasn't alright. "Do you want to talk about it? Where's Farah?"
"shes.. i dont really know.. and no i dont.. talking about it pushed her away.."
Silva shook his head and approached her. "Come on, you don't really believe that, do you? Farah isn't one to be pushed away easily. I should know."
neva shook her head. fidgeting with the ring.. " that just happens to be my specialty "
Silva's eyebrows arched. "You're married? I didn't know that."
neva looked down, trying to hide he fact that shed almost forgot her and farahs secret. " oh, uh.. yeah not a lot of people do." she said
"Congratulations. Who's the lucky guy?"
"girl.." neva corrected and flushed " and sorry but i cant tell you"
