Golden Glade been thinkin' bout the time i have and where i wanna be

@Antha and tessa both had been known to stir from slumber well before the sun's first rays had broken the horizon, so it came as no surprise to tessa when one morning she found herself waking to her sister's shadow.

laying next to each other, they shared more warmth than words as she took her time in waking.  eventually she asked, would you like to come gather herbs with me?  our women will need them this year. perhaps antha herself!  she shivered with joy at the thought. 

it seemed unspoken they would wait to exchange deeper conversation until they broached the edge of the summit, but as the naked, twisting branches of the maples came into view, she looked towards her sister once more.
