Chapter 55 - 55 - he's all yours

55

~Elara's POV

"You're amazing," Darlon said, swimming up beside me. "Look at you… My brave Luna, learning so fast."

I felt my cheeks heat up. "Brave Luna?" I said softly, staring at him.

"Always," he whispered, smiling. He reached out, brushing wet strands of hair from my face. "You've been so strong, Elara. Today, tomorrow… always. I'm proud of you."

I shivered, not from the water, but from the intensity of his gaze. "I… I want to be brave like you. But sometimes I… I feel scared."

"That's normal," he said, cupping my face. "Even I get scared sometimes. But you… You face it anyway. That's what makes you strong. That's what makes you beautiful."

I felt tears prick my eyes, but I blinked them back. "You really mean that?"

"Every word," he said softly. "Now… let me teach you something fun."

He guided me to the deeper part of the pool, holding me close. "Float on your back. I'll support you."
