i could be the reason you can't sleep at night
"Isn't that the truth." Flora titters in response as butterflies lift off in her stomach.
Wincing, Flora has to resist the urge to rub at her eyes lest she ruins the perfect smokey-lid she'd agonized over before leaving the house. Blinking rapidly to try and somehow force her tears away before they would be able to drip onto her cheeks, the girl stops moving for a moment as Neron reaches into his pocket. Worried that he was going to pull out a handkerchief and scrub it across her face, Flora's tentative look of concern suddenly bloomed into one of awe and delight to see the delicate flower shimmering in his hand. Looking from it, up into Neron's face, and then back down again, Flora quickly pulls off a glove to pick up the twinkling bud.
Popping it into her mouth, Flora tries to coyly look up again from beneath her lashes, preparing to say, "I didn't expect it to be so hot" with the clear insinuation that Neron was the hot thing. However with her tongue and lips scalded and a flower of ice making everything go number, what she actually ended up saying was, "I 'i'n't e'x'ect it o' 'e 'o 'ot." Followed by the sound of a slurp as she hastily sipped in a breath so that the melting ice wouldn't dribble out of her mouth.
