She would not have to wait long for his reaction to her statement, and though she had been fairly certain as to how he would respond she still couldn't help feeling a little nervous, what she had said was not something said lightly. So while she had been assuming he would react positively it was still a relief to have it voiced. She noted the confidence in his statement and stifled her chuckle this time. Oh, how lucky he was that his assumptions matched up with her feelings. That was not to say she begrudged him that, she had thought much about what her life would look like, and it had always involved the pale grey male standing beside her. She noted his stunned silence at her next statement. She closed her eyes, praying that she had not spoken to soon, not be to forward. She had known it would be a gamble, still had she not been the one to make many of the first moves? And so far they had all worked in her favor, she just prayed this wouldn?t be the exception to the rule. He would speak and she would internalize a sigh. Why not? No time like the present! Now's as good as time as any. Those were the things she wanted to say, but she could not bring herself to say any of it, berating herself. She did her best not to withdraw, resisting the urge to bury her face in his fur again. And then he said it, his muzzle next to her ear, a whispered question. A weak, husky "yes" was all she could manage, his question sending another electric current surging through her body. |
