Porcupine Ridge It's Been A Long Time Coming

Briefly she wondered if he would lay down too and stare up at the sky with her, but of course not. Instead, she was met with his gaze, lavender glinting in the dim light as she could feel his gaze resting on her. Try as she might not to lock eyes, it was nearly impossible not to give him her attention in return. Heat rose to her cheeks and she all she could do was turn her head to the side, stealing wayward glances as she spoke softly. It has been a long time since I have had so much attention.

Where were you months ago?

She wanted to ask.

I could have died! Where were you if you were searching!

I missed it. Plumes of white blossomed from her lips as she spoke. I missed you. She meant to say. Every word betrayed her thoughts, she instead chose to go down the more pleasant route - no need to bombard him yet with everything that had happened. She had so much to tell Yuudai and Hiromi and yet here she was, biding her time on the stories until they were more settled.
