Love, let's talk about love
This was not going at all how she had expected. On such a normal day, without brilliant blue skies or stormclouds brewing, where thunder would not rumble and winds would never howl - why was she sitting in the grass with a boy, having her cheek touched? Her hands held? Seren still felt like she might cry, but her fingers were unsteady for a different reason.
His request brought color creeping up her face. Mouth twitching, torn between a foolish smile and surprise and intense awkwardness, she tried to answer but immediately thought better of speaking. Did not want to squawk like a duck - and the risk was high at this point.
So she nodded instead, a quick dip of the chin - ah, she couldn't meet his eyes anymore. Where was that hole in the ground? Never before had she felt so strong an urge to vanish into her starry realm, to hide away and breathe and think.
It was just a hug. What on earth was she getting so worked up about?

Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
