I stood over my body, as I realized that I was having a memory walk. My people experienced this very often, as when our souls are unhappy and need memories to stay as our body's healed. The room filled with machines and wires went black as a new scene appeared before me. I saw myself drinking tea with D, when a women who had recently became blind walked in with her guardian. Her guardian had an aura of murder, for he was the man I saw killing this young women's family the night before.

As the young girl talked with D, I had run ahead to prepare the pet that this girl would get, this time it was a seeing eye dog, named Deizhen. As I finished debriefing Dreizhen, D walked in with the blind young girl in hand, I crept to the back of the room to let things run naturally and without interruption. As the interaction began, I suddenly felt D's thoughts creep into my mind. 'You saw her future, didn't you, Marianna?' he crooned. 'Yes,' I answered as a smile crept over my face. ' I saw her. She was in a bedroom, safe, happy, laughing with and talking to what seemed like no one, but Dreizhen was listening to her every word. She was so happy with his head lying peacefully on her lap.'

After returning the girl back to the shop front, the man she came with paid for the pet upfront, making D unsettled, since he told most costumers to pay after they were satisfied with the pet. "Here's for the pet, and here's a tip for your pretty little assistant over there." He mused, winking at me before taking the blind girl and the new pet out of the store. "Well," D started turning around to put the money somewhere safe. "That's the first time anyone has ever given such a generous tip for the presence of a woman."

"For you, Marianna," he handed me the bill. "D," I moaned. "I don't think I could take money from the shop." "Oh, come now, "he started, walking towards me from the table. " I insist, lovely assistant, Would it have been better for me to generously give it to you, or have had the costumer hide it in your dress?" He mused, looking up and down my body. Today was a bit warmer than usually so I wore one of my lighter kimonos, which was a little lower cut them I liked. As I was still in deep thought, D took my hand and concealed the 5 dollar bill within my grasp. What he did next surprised me, because while handing me the bill, he kissed me on the cheek. "W-was that from one of the customers?" I stuttered. "No, that was from me, For being an excellent assistant." I fill me with great joy this kiss, so I flew over to him and gave him the biggest bear hug I could give with my petit little body. It had taken him off guard, but he quickly gave a hug back. "Thank you, D," I whispered, planting a soft kiss on his cheek. My insides exploded with joy, I thought my chest would burst. I was so consumed with this kiss; I had forgotten that my lips were still in contact with his cheek.

I backed away, but as I did I knocked over a cup of tea D had left to assist the customer. I chirped clips of an apology, both for the long kiss and the broken glass, and I found two pieces of porcelain in the shape of a heart. "Oh look! Isn't that adorable?" I squealed. D let out a soft chortle. "You always seem to change personalities very quickly, it's very interesting." He mused. For once in what seemed like ages, I looked into his dual-colored eyes and began to pull in close to D. I realized he started to lean in too, and as my heart raced everything around us seemed to melt. We were mere inches away from a romantic kiss when the clock chimed four times. Everything solidified, I had to blink quickly to come back to reality and by the looks of it, D had done the same. "U-um, I think I'll go get a broom to clean this up." I stammered, running out of the room so D couldn't see me blush. But out of the corner of my eye, I could have sworn, D blushed too.

Then the scene changed, this time it was the bedroom, With D slowly changing from a splash of bright colors to a sad looking man sitting in an chair with a full cup of steaming tea. This was one of the most frightening memories I had, but also one of the most romantic ones I had with D. "D, is something wrong? It's not like you to not drink your yea." I cried. D suddenly looked up at me and set is tea on the table next to him. I could see in his eyes something that I couldn't quite describe, but was hinted with curiosity. He walked slowly to my position, and at a slow pace grabbed my shoulders very hard. It frightened me how he grabbed me, I knew he was strong, but he usually uses as much strength as he needs. I started to lean in and ever so softly started to kiss my neck. "D, what are you doing?" I squeaked, inhaling the scent of jasmine on his breath. He didn't answer, only began to push me against the wall and untied one of the fastenings of my kimono.

I tried my hardest to suppress my moans of joy, and D started to remove his hands from my shoulders and down around my waist, unfastening another tie. His hand now freely wrapped itself around my bare skin, as my clothes one tie away from falling off. D began to kiss my collarbone as his free hand began to undo the last and final tie. As his fingers closed in on the silky tie, his hand acted as if he seized up, and he was suddenly gone; no kisses, no jasmine scent. I saw him sit on the edge of the opposite side of the bed, perfectly still, as I quickly retied my clothes. "I wouldn't be upset if you wanted leave now," he sobbed, is sorrow was so strong that I could fell it across the room. I slowly sat next to him, perfectly still, as he continued to chirp bits and pieces of apologies. "I don't know what came over me….of all the stupid things I've done in my life-""D," I interrupted, taking one hand to the opposite side of his face and turned it so he faced me. I slowly kissed him, which was probably his first real kiss, as he had done to me. "There's no need to apologize, you were just curious. That's all," I whispered, his eyes began to fill with understanding and happiness.

This was a day before he told me he loved me, and I'm so happy that he did.
