Here without you baby

Walk | Talk | Think

She much preferred to smiles and laughter to the awkwardness that had engulfed her when she had first ran up to greet her friend. This felt much more natural, more comfortable, and almost she was able to forget that things were still different. That the more she laughed, the giddier she felt, the more relaxed she became to the point it verged on carelessness, even recklessness. But it was still so much better that Anais went with it, choosing to ignore what should have been warning signs in order to continue to be easy and comfortable in Glacier's presence even at the expense of not entirely thinking clearly.

More chuckles bubbled up from within when he confirmed that he had indeed tripped in a rabbit hole, just as she had heard. It was such a silly accident that, though she believed it entirely possible, she still could not fathom the significance. Or the humor behind it. But he still did. Oh, she wished he would smile a different way, a way that would stop her from being compelled to smile back, that would stop her from being unable to look away from him. Combined with her growing giddiness, his puma comment finally made her laugh aloud, the absurdity of what he said at last getting to her to the point she could no longer hold it in.

"A puma?" she asked, even more incredulously now. She scooted just a little closer, narrowing her eyes speculatively as she peered upward at him even though she continued to grin brightly. "Are you making this up?" It sounded like an awfully silly story. Maybe now she finally understood what he found so amusing!
