Redtail Rise But She’s Always a Woman to Me.

Her eyes flicked up, and she watched his expression for any sign of disgust or judgement. He looked puzzled, rebuffed, but it didn't seem as though he would think of her differently for suggesting something so intimate. Still- she couldn't help but be a little disappointed to not know if he'd wondered the same things she had. She couldn't help but feel as though perhaps there was something wrong with her, to have had those thoughts...She'd try to bury that deep shame, but it would dog her like a shadow. 

His swift departure only made her feel as though he wanted to get away from her. Eyes burning, she watched him go, waiting for him to turn and cast a look over his shoulder to see if she followed. If he did, she'd go after him-

but he didn't. 

He simply left, at a brisk pace. She waited for him to come back for her for a moment or two, before she made a small, strangled noise, and stormed off to wallow.
