"I will never let you go." ☾ Gentle. Tender. Warm. That was everything he was. His eyes, elusive sapphires, are enough to keep her up at night while she hangs the moon and the stars. His hands are lofty and soft with a calloused edge, enough to envelope her in warmth. He wants to bring her the world in his palms, but since he can’t, he’ll bring her the next best thing—his world. Laying in his arms while he reads Stevenson—that is her favorite playlist. And when she smiles, it seems heaven and hell move. The sun glints through the clouds after a heavy downpour. When she smiles, it rivals the light of the stars in the night sky. His name is Eliezer Badeaux and he fell in love with Cassiopeia Leilani the way the moon loved the stars: hopelessly and irrevocably. Enter their story.

“Toujours et à jamais. Je t'aime sur la lune et retour, ange.” ☾ They loved. They crumbled. They’ll conquer. That is everything they are. Two kindred souls that needed to crumble before they could conquer. He carries her on his shoulders, while she adorns their night sky with light and warmth in their universe. There are still nights where she reads alone in the moonlight, while he works in the dull light of his carrel. So far, yet so near. In the end, all that was needed was to break each other’s hearts. Her name is Cassiopeia Leilani and her love for Eliezer Badeaux was like the stars in the summer nights, scintillating and tantalizing. This is their story.
