We’re nothing together.

Riddle kept this words into her mind, to remind her heart to never dare to long for you. Two women could not love each other the same way a man and a woman did. Homosexuality was an abnormality, homosexuality should not exist. That’s what her mother taught her from a young age, and Riddle had to follow every single one of her mother’s rules. For her words were command, they were absolute.

So her heart ached, at the thought of you. Her gray eyes lingered on you, the way she would never look at a man. But Riddle didn’t allow herself to give into her feelings. She was too scared, but she loved you too much.

How could you not react like her? Why were you so free, when she was caged, forced to hide her true self from others’ gaze?

She was sentenced to love you in silence.
