@Chamomichael_ 🥰

[Victoria Clementine @blckveils_]

@Chamomichael_ special.”

Victoria took a slow breath, nervousness settling in her chest.

“I trust you. I’m just scared.”

Still, she closed her eyes beneath his hand and whispered,

“Okay.. I’m wishing.”

[Victoria Clementine @blckveils_]

@Chamomichael_ Victoria’s brows pulled together at the mention of Jack.

“Maestro, no. Hollie isn’t Jack’s,” she said firmly. “Yes, Jack and I were close, but not like that. Hollie is your daughter.”

Her expression softened when his hand covered her eyes.

“And yes.. I remember calling you ++

[Victoria Clementine @blckveils_]

@MaestrosChild little fingers. The thought of returning to the castle made her heart tighten, but she couldn’t ignore how much Hollie missed him.

“Alright, sweetheart.. we can go,”

Victoria agreed.

“But you have to hold Mommy’s hand and stay close to me the entire time, okay?”

[Victoria Clementine @blckveils_]

@MaestrosChild Victoria felt the small tug against her leg and immediately recognized Hollie’s sweet voice. She reached down, gently feeling for her daughter’s hand before crouching to her level.

“You want to see Daddy today?”

she asked softly, brushing her thumb over Hollie’s ++

[Victoria Clementine @blckveils_]

@Chamomichael_ she whispered. “I’m scared. I’ve gotten used to the darkness. What if your magic doesn’t work.. or what if it does?”

[Victoria Clementine @blckveils_]

@Chamomichael_ “And yes, Hollie is yours. I wouldn’t come all this way just to lie to you about something like that.”

When his fingers brushed over the scars on her face, Victoria lowered the mask completely, suddenly feeling more exposed than she had in a long time.

“As for my sight..” ++

[Victoria Clementine @blckveils_]

@Chamomichael_ Her hand slowly lifted toward her mask.

“You.. you can really do that?”

There was a nervous pause.

“I don’t know if I’m ready to hope for that.”

[Victoria Clementine @blckveils_]

@Chamomichael_ forever.”

She smiled faintly when he reminded her that he was Hollie’s father.

“I know what year it is,” she teased softly. “And yes, she’s just as much yours as she is mine.”

But when he mentioned restoring her sight, Victoria froze.

“My sight?” ++

[Victoria Clementine @blckveils_]

@Chamomichael_ please stop blaming yourself.”

At his comment about Hollie, Victoria gave a small sigh.

“I’m her mother. Worrying about her is part of the job.”

[Victoria Clementine @blckveils_]

@Chamomichael_ Her fingers lifted instinctively toward the mask covering her eyes.

“I remember the heat..the pain.. and then everything went dark.”

She swallowed before turning her face toward him.

“But you weren’t there, Maestro. You couldn’t have known what was going to happen, so ++

[Victoria Clementine @blckveils_]

@Chamomichael_ She leaned lightly against him.

“Take me closer. I want to help her.”

[Victoria Clementine @blckveils_]

@Chamomichael_ growing quieter.

“And you don’t have to feel guilty every time you look at me, Maestro. I’m still me.”

At the mention of Hollie building a snowman, Victoria smiled and turned toward the sound of her daughter.

“A snowman already? She didn’t waste any time.” ++

[Victoria Clementine @blckveils_]

@Chamomichael_ “Tell me what she’s doing,” she whispered. “And tell me what everything looks like. I still remember snow.. I just want to see it through you now.”

[Victoria Clementine @blckveils_]

@Chamomichael_ At Maestro’s comment, Victoria laughed quietly.

“Oh, she takes after me? Then you’re definitely in trouble.”

She turned toward the sound of Hollie playing.

“Don’t go too far, sweetheart.”

Then Victoria leaned a little closer to Maestro. ++
