Morningside Cuesta isn't hope an animal?

Her words are caught in her mind as he stays near her and she feels every electric touch he gives her and for a moment, she doesn’t think the game will last very long. However, she gets ahead with a burst of energy that makes her feel like she’s flying. The weight of the world sheds from her shoulder; like Atlas shrugging the heavens from his grasp, and the freedom is something she cannot remember feeling.

She forgets, in that moment, that she’d ever felt lonely at all.

Before she knows it, however, she feels her legs give out beneath her and she hits the ground with force. Her chin hits the ground hard and her teeth clattered on impact, her legs roughing up as the scrap against the dirt and grass. She doesn’t have the time to catch her breath as the majority of his weight is upon her, keeping from her picking herself back up and running off again. A heartfelt laugh bellows out of her as she struggles to catch her breath, wiggling from beneath the heavy brute.
