When no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
Soh listened, eyes fixed on Zavien's face as though searching for something she didn't dare name. And as he spoke, a fragile hope blossomed in her chest, that all might not be lost, that even if things were more complicated than this false scenario she'd presented, that maybe, maybe things could still work out.
She rose silently from her seat, crossing the short distance between them in no more than a second. Carefully, slowly, she eased herself into his lap, giving him every opportunity to stop her. If he didn't, she'd wrap her arms around his neck, burying her face in his shoulder so she could breath him in, holding tightly enough that she feared he would feel her galloping heartbeat. If he stopped her, she'd retreat to lean against the table, gripping the edge tightly to force herself to keep her hands steady and away from him.
Either way, whether it was muffled against his skin or said into the open air between them, she said, "I'd give you everything." No hesitation, no questions, no second guessing. She took a deep, shuddering breath, steeling herself as she waited for the inevitable shoe to drop. "So... what's stopping you? Is it just Koa?" Or was there more that she was as yet unaware of, some other reason on Zavien's mind preventing them from taking the happiness that felt so close and yet so far?
