Solidarity

Jareth's wish, spilled desperately across chapped lips, was stolen away on the wind before it fully formed. Utterly and miserably alone, he lay down on the ice, hoping it all would be over soon.

He awoke to cold blue skies threatening precipitation, and found himself leaning heavily against something at once solid and yielding. Roused from frozen stupor, he reflexively gripped the arm that held him like one shocked back from the dead. Her name caught on his tongue like an epitaph.

“S-Sarah?” How she'd possibly found him in in this heaven-forsaken land he'd never know.

The answering confirmation of soft lips pressed against his temple was the first semblance of warmth he'd felt since time out of mind. Her cheek against his as she cradled him to her chest sent the thrill of a new life racing through his limbs in painful currents.
