Thirty or
forty years ago, I wouldn’t have stared at the girl in front
of me for more than five seconds before charming her into going to bed with me.
But this girl
... this girl was different.
“I think that’s everything,” Nadine said, stepping out of
the cottage as Rok flew from the roof.
It was early
January. The lights around the cottage reflected on the three feet of snow, and
illuminated Nadine’s long brown hair, tinting some strands bronze. Her hair,
her dark green eyes, and her red lips contrasted with her fair skin, and the
only thought on my mind was that I had never seen a more beautiful girl in my
entire life. And I had been alive for quite some time.
Nadine
approached me, and as it was every time she looked at me, I fought the urge to
reach to her, to pull her against me, to kiss her, to—
“It is everything, isn’t it?” She glanced at the bag slung
across my shoulder and the box in my arms. She held her sister’s stuffed bunny
in one hand, and a duffel bag in another.
We had been
moving to our new location all day, making several trips to and from, and now
we were the last ones here.
“I think so,” I replied, quickly glancing to Rok hovering
above our heads. “Ready?”
She walked
down the porch steps, into the snow, and turned to the cottage. Her eyes
scanned it, as if she wanted to take every little detail with her.
She slung the
duffel bag on her shoulder and turned the collar of her jacket up. “It’s
odd. I feel like I should feel bad for leaving this place after fleeing so many
others, after losing so many people.” She sighed. “But I don’t, and I totally
should, especially after seeing the new place Ceris got us.”
I nodded,
knowing too well that the new place brought her depressing memories.
No matter. It
was a new place, a new path on our journey, a new beginning. We were on the
right track.
I offered my
arm to her. “Let’s go, darling.”
With a
half-smile that made my heart skip a beat, Nadine sauntered to me and hooked
her arm with mine.
I scooted
closer to her, more than necessary, because I could, because I wanted, and
transported us out of there.
