Chapter Text
Sara had always been free and maybe that had been one of the things that had made falling in love with her little bird so easy.
The first time she had heard her laugh, Nyssa’s heart was already a goner even as her mind tried to find reasons on just why it was unwise to fraternize with a recruit, even one as skilled as Ta’er Al Safer had proven herself to be.
Loving Sara had always been inevitable, Nyssa gravitated towards her even when the woman had been half-dead, nursed her weakened form personally looking for an excuse to stay.
So how could Nyssa stand a chance now when Sara was standing before her, grinning and so full of life?
And so Nyssa did, she love Sara like she never loved anything else she had known. She took Sara into her heart and loved her with her very soul.
Now, her heart had flown away, and her soul felt colder than the sheets that had been left behind.
