take me home tonight

After their dream-like night of spontaneous debauchery, Elise fully expected to open her eyes the next morning and find him gone or even to find that he had never existed in the first place. That would have been okay with her if that had been the case. She would still have the pleasant memories and they felt real enough in her mind whether they were actually real or not. They had lost themselves in each other for the rest of the evening and at some point had drifted off to sleep in a pleasant, hazy fog that lingered when they were done. It had been the best possible scenario for a chance meeting with a handsome stranger that she could possibly think of and it made her exceedingly happy that she happened to wander into the Wildberry Grove the night before. The morning sun pulled her from her sleep and she blinked open her sapphire eyes, squinting a bit as she adjusted to the change in light. She was a bit reluctant to actually get up since she didn't really care for mornings in general, but the smell of the fire and she subtle scent that she now associated with the tea she had been served the night before made her reconsider going back to sleep. Grogily, she lifted her head and saw that the tall, dark, and handsome man from her memories was indeed real and it seemed there would be more tea to be had. A smile pulled across her lips as she looked at him with half-opened, sleep heavy eyes. "Well, you weren't just a pleasant dream after all," she commented with a soft chuckle. Elise pulled herself first onto her stomach and then onto her paws to give her fur a quick shake before settling back onto her haunches. Her eyes trailed over him and a small smirk crossed her muzzle. Yep, still just as handsome in the morning light. If anything he was actually more interesting and handsome now that she had enough light to see his subtle and delicate markings. They weren't nearly as ostentatious as hers, but she kind of liked that about them. "I'm glad you're still here," she mentioned in a rare bit of sincerity, her eyes shifting away from him to watch the teapot curiously just so she wouldn't have to actually face him to see how he might react to such a statement. She didn't want him to think too deeply about it, but at the same time she did mean it. She liked his presence a lot and the night before had been one of the best she'd had in a very long time. |
