what have i found

Duchess may have been a little uneasy with the lateness and dragging of the secret, but she was more put off by the nature of the “what ifs”, this girl coming back into Indigo’s life made her think she would be left in the dust. It is what happened with Draco, even if Draco didn’t love the new girl prior or ever.

She found a comfortable curve in his body to nestle her face inward as he held her tighter. But maybe she needed the embrace now that worry had set into her heart. She didn’t want him to see it, silently holding on to the feelings she felt.

He promised Draco wouldn’t touch her, wouldn’t hurt her just as he suggested about Gypsy. She expected no less of him, and she knew she could still trust him with her life. But it was entirely possible that Draco could come back and take her during a scouting, or anytime Indigo wasn’t with her. And she would go with him.

She didn’t really have anymore words, laying there swirling inside her own head. She waited for a few more moments, surrounded and lost in Indigo’s mane. She pulled her head back finally, pushing forward gently to offer him a kiss. But the kiss she offered was almost sad, not like anything they had ever shared before. She didn't shed any tears though. For tonight, she would stay strong.
