Walking through the streets of Ombria, I felt it again. A deep, overwhelming want to know. Everything. Why do birds sing? Can fish think? Where does rain come from? Shaking it away I continued on my course. I had to find him. Remembering the feeling of his lips I shivered. He wasn't that bad of a guy I had come to find out, he had helped me gladly and was incredibly humble. But did he feel the same about me? Laws were made to be broken, I hope I let him know that. The mere idea that he thought I was the same as everyone else was cringe worthy. I wanted to prove to him that i was deep, that i was not just another person. I wanted him to see who i had hidden from the rest of the world, because he would be the only person to like his house in the distance I picked up my pace and straightened my clothes.
Gathering my courage, I timidly knocked upon his door with the large gold knocker, gently at first , but growing in strength. The door opened at knock three and I stood there like an imbecile with my hand still in place. His expression so surprised it made me forget I had told him I was though I had traveled through time i found my self inside the house with his arms around me, dazed and disoriented." You came," he said, his voice barely audible.
"Did you not expect me to?"
" I never thought I would see you again," his eyes meet mine and something inside me shiftd. I inch closer to him and he laughes softly and humorlessly. Pulling away to avoid disturbing him he pulls me back to himself.I could get used to this.
He guides me over to his study and gives a sly smile. I feel more comfortable than ever around him, he ltss me change into one of his outfits because he knows I despise dresses. He looks me up and down and I blush in the baggy sagging cloth but he just smiles so radiantly I just wish I was in his arms. We spend the rest of the afternoon sharing stories, poems, paintings,inventions, and jokes. When dusk arives I do not want to go back to my boarding house. But the comfort that I felt at the beginning faded away and I want to be out of his sights. I quickly change and run home.
