still thinking about how Eli and his horse were dancing in circles, kicking up a dust storm because he couldn’t decide whether to disappear or to turn right around in search of Cornelia. he always told her about how he didn’t believe in destiny, about how we’re only here for a moment—life’s a whole lot of aiming. one miss. but in that moment that all disappeared. i think if he hadn’t heard her voice he would have chosen her. even if it meant his life.
this narrative hits me so hard because it’s a love story that is destined for tragedy, which is only realized more clearly as the series progresses. it’s two people who have experienced their own unique and excruciatingly long lifetimes of pain/suffering who have finally found love within the other, something they never thought they’d ever find again. and then it’s all taken away. we only see this a few times in the series but I think Chaske Spencer is especially brilliant and cruel when he manages to make the same expression every time he embraces Cornelia, which is one of extreme pain. tormented by her embrace, and agony to be separated.
