Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #22: Mayfly

Tears glazed her eyes as she attempted to flee, not wanting Sesshomaru to see her sadness that was quickly eating away at her anger. But he stopped her. The emotions lacing his voice surprised her, knew he implied much more with just those two little words. It was in his tone. Though she told herself how foolish it was to feel hope, it was there. Turning her head, she glanced back at Sesshomaru, almost fearful of what she would see reflected back at her in his eyes.

Her breath caught.

Dejection. Loneliness. Even…love?  It was all there in his eyes.
