Firefly Glen heart-shaped box

liliana started to speak but stopped herself to collect her thoughts. how could she explain everything that happened? and if osiris knew, would he send her back home? unsure eyes glanced up at the strange man, then found their way back toward the ground.

i wanted to know.., she began, meerkat said that i could live here, last time i came. do you think.. would you let me? liliana stopped nervously shifting her weight to stand firm, hopefully masking her anxiety.
