Northstar Vale Afterglow

last from me! <3

Her own words tore her apart; her heart wanted to scream her feelings out, but she knew the duck would never accept them, would never feel the same even the slightest. And she will not be heartbroken, never again. She swallowed in empty as the duck gave her answer.
 
Friendship; there would never be more than that, that’s all she will get. Friendship; how much she wanted to take her in her arms and hug her and tell her there will never be again just friendship between them! How much she adored to feel her lips, her touch, her everything!
 
“Yes, it’s good to be back.” It is, yes it is, but not how she wants to be. Maybe this is for the best; maybe it just wasn’t meant to happen. They were coming from different cultures, and maybe the others wouldn’t accept it as well. The breeding season was approaching, and perhaps she desired to become a mother this season; no matter. The duck would make a good mother; unlike herself.
 
Agana took the leg in her jaws and moved to a side of the clearing, turned away from the pearl that shone bright under the moon. And for the first time in months, she allowed drops to fall on her meal while she ate quietly and alone, and prayed the other wouldn’t notice.
