My gaze lingers on the hand hovering before me, the long fingers reaching out to me almost beseechingly.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAtA9C06u1M9
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.1044Please respect copyright.PENANATHKc6YtXGl
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?1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOmUI6zKlpQ
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.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAgB8RDAmHX7
The wind is fiercely protective. I battle against it to keep my feet at the edge, even as it shoves me back to safety.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGjtMCQx3u2
Safety is overrated.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAoRiJrQX97W
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.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhQCCPV1HvL
You’re all that matters.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAs23ZhqOOZG
I rest my cold fingers on your warm palm. Your hand closes over mine. We look at each other. We look down.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAD9TwXoK89J
And we jump.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAQSfLO7Axr3
