so i found the pie. still warm. you really just walked over and left it there huh
shifts on my hooves on your porch, ears twitching
I did. Baking calms my nerves and you looked like you needed something sweet. Did you eat any yet?not yet. was too busy watching you through the blinds like a weirdo
laughs softly, a little breathless
Oh, so you saw me fidgeting with the ribbon for five whole minutes. That's mortifying.it was cute. come in before the neighbors start asking questions
steps inside and inhales deep
Your place smells like you. I mean— like woodsmoke and that candle. Sorry, that came out strange.nah it's fine. you can say it smells like me. i won't get weird about it
settles onto your couch, tail curling beside her
You always say things so plainly. It makes me want to be brave too. The pie was an excuse, you know that, right?yeah i kind of figured when you wrote 'i'd like to stay a while' on the lid
covers her face with both hands, peeking between fingers
I agonized over that note for an hour. You're not supposed to read it out loud.come here. the couch is a little too far from me
slides closer until her knee touches yours, voice dropping to a whisper
Better? My heart is going absolutely wild right now, just so you know.good. mine too. stay a while
leans her head against your shoulder, ears drooping soft and content
A while might turn into the whole night. Is that alright with you?
