Twinkle in the Night
Holly
Success! She caught more, and after carefully scooping the dazed bugs into her jar, she turned to Holland as he approached. Ears tilted forward at his question, and she was curious about it too. "I wonder too. Probably some really cool things!" She didn't doubt any prizes offered were going to be good. She didn't see them offering ordinary things they could make or find themselves, after all. She hadn't been to the booth yet to see what they had to offer, mostly because she'd been busy enjoying everything else that she hadn't gotten there yet. Clearly Holly hadn't seen the booth either, and when he asked if it was fun, she nodded with a smile. "I'm not going to lie, I am having fun. Especially since y--," She stopped herself, realizing what she was about to say. Especially since you're here with me? She shook her head. She had to play it off, and fast.
As a few fireflies floated in front of her, she sprang for them and aimed to smack them out of the air again. Hopefully that was distraction enough and maybe he wouldn't even notice she had cut herself off. She could feel her face turning hot, however, at almost blurting those words out. They just met recently, what the heck was she thinking? She shyly glanced over at him as he walked away, wondering if she was being a nuisance to him or if he really didn't mind her constantly hanging around. He hadn't told her to go away or anything...yet. But she feared it would come at some point if she was truly bothering him. They were opposite of one another. Where she was outgoing and stuff, he seemed to be more reserved. Their personalities were different, but so far...at least from what she could tell...he didn't seem to mind her company.
