After finding out about her, everything seemed bittersweet.
The goofy grin was permanently on his face and he radiated with happiness.
Whenever he got like that it was impossible for her not to smile.
But she also got bites when the two were together.
Not bites from bugs,
Or bites from Animals.
But bites in the chest, bites near her heart.
He was happy; he was in love.
And she seemed to act the same way.
She hadn't met the girl before now,
But they were treating each other like long lost lovers.
And every time he saw her,
It was like she wasn't even there.
The team finally reached the end of the route.
And the one in blue spoke to her.
She listened, but her attention was elsewhere.
It was on the boy.
She felt as the girl's make-up stained lips met his
And the fire inside her heart grew again.
