Next set is up, and only one more to go! I'm a little sad since this was such a fun and interesting challenge, but it'll be nice to have completed it ^___^

As always, reviews are appreciated :D Thanks to all my readers and my reviewers~ X3 Enjoy; final update is Tuesday.

#31 – Home
She's always considered the temple her home, and she probably always will, but she thinks that if it weren't for all the complications, it wouldn't be so bad to start over and get her own home—after all, then she could invite him over to her place any time she wanted.

#32 – Confusion
The only time he ever feels any uncertainty is when she asks for the necklace back; it always shakes him a little, but it's easy to make excuses and explain it all away—though it never completely erases his confusion.

#33 – Fear
One day, he's late for meeting her and won't pick up his phone and a panic chokes her—she is of course scared that her sister could have made her move, but it's laced with a silly, irrational fear that he might have forgotten her or maybe just didn't care enough to show up, but she still waits; less than five minutes later he arrives and explains that his phone was dead and a teacher had held him up after class to discuss one of his projects.

#34 – Lightning/Thunder
He tries to pretend like thunder doesn't bother him when they're alone in his dorm room one stormy night, but when she whispers something in his ear and runs her hand over the prickly hair on the back of his head all he can hear is the sound of his heart pounding in his ears.

#35 – Bonds
Surely she'll be torn in half one of these days by the two people most important to her—one is him and the other is her sister, and they're both pulling her in opposite directions, the binding so tight she can't move an inch.

#36 – Market
He never even bothered to look at fruits and vegetables in the grocery store because he assumed they wouldn't fit into his starving college student budget, but one day she says she can't bear to watch him malnourish himself any longer and drags him to a store that sells the best food at the cheapest prices.

#37 – Technology
She's discovered that he has an inability to work anything technological, and although she loves to gently tease him about it, she hasn't a clue about that stuff, either; the two of them spent hours one night trying to fix a paper jam when he'd attempted to print out a term paper due the next day.

#38 – Gift
He used to think that the necklace was their one true symbol of their love, but now he's come to realize ever since that fateful day in the courthouse, she's given him so many more gifts than he ever could have imagined.

#39 – Smile
His smile is one his most endearing traits; she can't help but smile back whenever he gives her one of his giant, unabashed grins, like he's totally unconscious of how giddy he looks.

#40 – Innocence
Her purity is one of her most admirable traits; he knows his Dollie wouldn't ever hurt a fly and he loves her for that.
