The water rippled around the tumseas, splishing and splashing against the sides of the floaties as the two women floated alongside one another. Sprawled out on the floatie, Soh looked skyward, gaze caught in the clear blue above, following the silhouette of one lone cloud as it scuttled by. She was so lost in her own words, so unaware of Flora's firm insistence, that the sudden movement of her floatie startled her, and she yelped as she struggled to stay upright on her tumsea that was suddenly quite close to the Doubletake's.
And when she finally locked her gaze with Flora's the truth that she found there loosened something tight and inexplicable in her chest, something that she hadn't even realized that she'd been holding quite so tightly until just this moment. Tears filled her eyes, but this time, it wasn't grief or even guilt that summoned them; it was relief because finally, finally, it was time to let go of the burden that she'd carried for seasons upon seasons. Finally, she'd found freedom, and even if she wasn't sure what to do with it, finding it was something worth celebrating.
The moment passed as swiftly as it had come, Soh dashing away the few tears that had escaped as she changed the subject. "Please," she giggled, the thought of Koa being forced into the rodeo something that brought her no small amount of joy (even if she felt a tiny bit bad about it). "Bet we could talk Colt into rigging the draw, even."
