Morningside Cuesta it's time for a new beginning

She rose up to meet him - she had to, considering the difference in size. Worry - vague and uncertain - made him pause for a moment, but she answered him soon enough. If she thought she was ready, Day believed her. They could always stop, if it ended up being too much.

Hesitantly, one fumbling leg came up to grip her to him. The other remained braced on the ground, her small stature making it impossible for her to support them both.

"Stop me if I... if it's not good," he murmured, changing his mind about if I hurt you at the last moment. He didn't wait for her to answer, but shuffled forward, unable to ignore the urge to buck against her any longer. And he was gentle at first, but there was too much on his mind. By the end, his motions had become stiff and mechanical, and when it was over, he slumped against her with an unhappy sheen to his dull eyes. The leg holding them up wobbled and then gave out, and Grayday collapsed along with it.
