Nova
Here's to alcohol,
She leaned into his smile, embracing the compliment with sparkling eyes and a quiet intensity. "You think?" Ignoring the fact that he didn't include the 'strong' part in his assessment, she liked to hear that she exuded exactly what she intended to. People needed to know how amazing she was.
Her lips curled into a mischievous grin when he reported that she wasn't 'subtle,' a shimmering giggle escaping as she reached for another rock of her own. She inspected it before letting it plop back onto the ground at her feet, too tired to bother with throwing it again. "You didn't let me get in the pools," she teased, remembering distinctly how he blocked her path. She was still tempted to go back and see what truly lay beneath the surface but settled for lifting her chin stubbornly into the air, huffing a haughty breath. "And I am fine." The gleam in her eyes dared him to say otherwise.
The way she flopped down next to him in the grass might have told a different story, the motion anything but elegant as gravity pulled her into its clutches. The impact was punctuated with a growl of her stomach, and Nova groaned as she leaned back. "Just a little hungry."
