26. Distance
Karin laid idly in her bed. She sighed contently. She had just returned from spending an afternoon with Sena after he had returned from America. In that time, she realized that she was so accustomed to his company, that she took it for granted.
A giggle escaped her at the recollections of their earlier dates. It was by some miracle that the two were even able to hold up a proper conversation. Turning to her side, she caressed the box next to her and opened it again.
Inside was a beautiful humming bird necklace, with said bird in mid flight. The overall color scheme was gold with silver edges making the patterns on the bird. Each of its eyes had a vibrant blue jewel. Sena was so thoughtful. Although, she hoped it hadn't been expensive, she couldn't bring herself to ask him earlier since it would seem rude.
And he looked so ecstatic to give it to her.
So she could let it go for now. It was a bit ironic him leaving for the training trip had further shrank the distance between them.
