The Town Plaza [2]

Halee

I scoop Blithe up in my arms and lie back with him.

Lucian

I make a note to clean it up tomorrow before heading to the stairs. I freeze halfway there, wondering if she's still mad at me. In case she is, I head back down and curl up on the couch.

Halee

Blithe lightly snooring, I smile in my sleep.

Lucian

I hesitate before closing my eyes, the whispering back once more.

Halee

I fall into deep sleep, content.

Lucian

I soon fall asleep, cold and lonely.

Halee

I wake the next morning and let Blithe sleep, heading downstairs.

Lucian

I wake around three AM and just sit there, trying to tune out the voice.

Halee

I come down to see Luce alone on the couch. I hesitate before laying neck to him without a word, burying my face in his chest.

Lucian

I watch Halee lie next to me and hesitate before wrapping my arm around her, flashing a smile.

Halee

I don't say a word and just lie with him.

Lucian

She doesn't speak and I hesitate before doing so, "I-I'm sorry for messing up the kitchen. Those damn pots and pans didn't like me much..."

Halee

I smile, shrugging, "S'Fine."

Lucian

I nod and rest my chin on her forehead, "A-are you still mad at me?"

Halee

I sigh, "I don't know."
