Separated by a curse but bound by love.
In the fading light of the night, their eyes meet where their lips cannot. It is a single second that sustains their love.
From the moment her eyes met his, Estelle Dumont was captivated. Her heart would always be his.
But Edmond Lamont's heart wasn't entirely hers. He had been in love once before, tricked by the fair beauty of an Encantado named Lisle.
Desperate to rid themselves of the curse she placed upon them, they must decide just how far they are willing to go. They must decide if their love is more important than their lives.
But how far is too far and what cost is too much?

"The windswept cries of the gulls make me think of home. Not the
one I knew before but the one you keep warm, beating in your chest.
When I die I will find my way back there, back to the place where we
were together.
The last place I touched you, the last place I was safe."

"We will always have this, this garden and this moment and it
will be enough. Even when it’s not enough, it still will be." He sighs but
doesn't speak again.
We sit in silence, letting the air caress us and the birds sing into
the wind. We let the world move past us, like we are behind glass, frozen in
the moment we have stolen.
But like all stolen things the moment ends and the sun sets behind the
hills and I feel the change starting inside of me.
I speak words but they are gone, lost in the breeze as the change
takes my voice. I can only hope my eyes say everything my heart is feeling.
He nods, kissing my hand as I vanish into the wind, leaving him empty
handed but smiling like a fool. A love struck fool."
**********************
"The words leaving his lips don't reach my ears. I don't care
about the secret he wants so badly to share. It's the movement of his lips that
has me captivated. The way he speaks and says my name gives me chills and
confuses his story in my mind.
But even his words and lips and charms can't stop the cold reality
from setting in, we each are cursed.
And no amount of love can fix that.
I hold my tongue and savor each of the last looks I allow my eyes to
take, for the sun is setting and our moments are each killed off by the fading
light. "
