Some hearts bloom in an instant, rushing toward affection like a river spilling over its banks. Others, like Marca and Dewey, unfold slowly—delicate, hesitant, as if waiting for the world to prove itself worthy of their trust.
They were born of this land, their spirits woven into the fabric of the Texas sanctuary long before it was truly theirs. But where others found their footing in time, Marca remained a ghost—a whisper of a creature, so fragile in her fear that even a glance in her direction sent her trembling, the weight of human eyes too much for her gentle soul to bear.
For a time, she was sent to live with Tia, a hopeful attempt at bringing her into a world where love could mend what fear had frayed. But some spirits cannot be forced into the light. Marca was not ready, and the world beyond her sanctuary only made her retreat further into the shadows. And so, she was brought home—to the land she had always known, to the one soul who could understand her quiet kind of survival.
Now, she is no longer the trembling shadow she once was. She moves closer, lingers longer, lets the world exist around her without shrinking beneath it. She will never be the kind to seek out touch, never the soul to press herself into human arms—but she no longer fears the presence of those who care for her.
Together, Dewey and Marca are proof that healing is not always grand, not always loud. Sometimes, it is found in the smallest of victories—a glance held for a moment longer, a step taken without fear, the quiet understanding that not all hands are meant to harm.
Their magic is subtle, but it is there. And in time, it has turned fear into trust, distance into companionship, and the ghosts of their past into something softer, something lighter, something free.
