Fics like A Heart is a Heavy Burden

“What do you think it would be like to travel around as Howl does?” She asks, not noticing how the fabric in her hands becomes a deeper shade of red. “Would it be freeing? An adventure beyond belief? What do you think he sees as a wizard?” Sophie hums, carefully placing more flowers onto her own hat and pinning them in place. Eliza sighs, placing the unfinished hat on a stand and leans her arms on the table. “Am I dreaming too big?” She softly asks, looking down at her hand; the ring shimmers in the evening sun. “What if they don’t share my dream of going off in the great wide… somewhere?” “You have beautiful dreams, Eliza. I believe you’ll go on an adventure someday; soulmate or not.” Sophie says softly, placing her finished hat on a stand and turning to her friend. “And when you do, I hope you will take me with you.” (EDIT (3/26/26): I have added a tiny chapter to the start and edited the now 2nd chapter.)
