All these things that I have done

Athena's dark ears folded back against her skull when her wife asked what was wrong with her and pressed her nose to her cheek. She leaned into the touch and closed her eyes with a sigh. She didn't know how to respond, but luckily she didn't have to since a little clump of snow that had gotten stuck to Amalia's muzzle fell onto hers and made her blink open her eyes. She smiled at the sound of her wife's laughter and her tail brushed away some of the snow behind her as it wagged. The moment of happiness was gone as soon as it had appeared as soon as the snow had been licked away and their gazes met once more.

The moment she saw the threat of tears in those beautiful blue eyes a worried, saddened wine escaped her and she quickly hopped up so she could come to lay next to her wife. With her side pressed to Amalia's she curled around her little woman protectively. "Shhhh, it's okay, my love. Please don't cry," she whispered as she nuzzled her face into Amalia's scruff. She wanted to gather up all the pieces her wife had crumbled into and hold her together. She wanted to fix whatever was happening, but it scared her because she didn't know if she could. "I don't know either, sweetheart... I want to help you, I really do, but I don't know what you're feeling. Talk to me, darling, what's going on?"
