There is love inside this madness
We are walking on the moon
We are walking on the moon
While she couldn't fully appreciate what he was going through, it was easy to sympathize; she'd lost people she loved, after all, and she could imagine what she'd feel if they somehow managed to come back. The questions she'd have, the emotions she'd feel - and, on top of that, Jude probably felt like he had to hold it together while everything and everyone around him dealt with their own struggle with the situation. She loved him, in part, for his quiet strength, but she knew that it would lead to him carrying the world on his shoulders. She just didn't want him to have to carry it alone.
She reluctantly let Jude pull away, rapidly kicking off her shoes and padding after him to the couch. Ahe laughed at his pouting, happily climbing on top of him, resting her arms on his chest with her head propped on top, the better to keep him in her sights. "It was fine," she said. "But this is better." And she grinned, leaning up to kiss him again before settling once more on his chest. "Halo is... different. It was cold, but Tal has this magic cuff to keep away the cold that he let me borrow, so it wasn't too bad. The landscape is beautiful, but I think I prefer things here. All that snow and ice gets a little boring after a while." The beach was far better. So was the Greatwood.
She wished she could avoid talking about her trip's ending. But, unfortunately, she had to warn him about his mother's - what? Hurt? Disappointment? She didn't think Phoebe was angry, but Jude might be, when he learned what had happened. She'd never made him angry before. They'd never even spoken a cross word to each other. That she might anger him with her mistake made her brows come together slightly in a small frown.
"I, um... I actually have to tell you something," she said hesitantly, suddenly avoiding his gaze, fidgeting with the collar of his shirt. "I, um..." Again she hesitated, reluctant to ruin their golden bubble with her own idiocy. "I met your mother," she said finally, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "I didn't realize - I met her before, and she's a friend of mine, except I didn't know she was your mother, and I went by the Greatwood to say hi, and we got to talking, and I... may have accidentally told her we were dating." Now she peeked up at Jude, fear and distress evident on her face, suddenly terrified by how he might react.

Though I don't believe in magic
I believe in me and you
