Everyone wants to see heaven
But no one wants to say goodbye
But no one wants to say goodbye
Startled by Flora's conviction, and by the quickness with which she jumped to reassure Soh, the Luminary stared at her with a mixture of gratefulness and surprise. She felt silly, now, to have thought that Flora would do anything but support her. Flora had always been in her corner. Softening, Soh crossed her legs, leaning forward to trail her fingertips in the water. "I hope you're right."
Soh would have taken the unsolicited advice without question, but Flora didn't wait for her to agree before launching into it, and the Luminary listened in silence, her gaze trained on the reflections shimmering on top of the water. She was quiet when Flora finished - not in an angry way, or a dismissive way, but in a way that made it clear that she was thinking deeply about what Flora had advised.
"Two weeks feels like forever," she admitted, biting the inside of her cheek in thought. "Even if I know it's not. And I hear you - I do - but... if Koa wanted to wait, to have time to really think about it - or to give me time to think about it - I mean, shouldn't I honor that?" She withdrew her hand from the water, watching the ripples as they danced across the surface. "I mean, I don't need time. I know how I feel. But I don't want to pressure him."
She wasn't even sure she was making sense, but she looked up at Flora with vulnerability in every line of her face. "It feels like... everything I've done in the past, it was the wrong choice. What if I mess things up again?" Except this time, she wouldn't get a third chance.
