This one was a bit hard, and the one following was harder, but I think I managed to do something pretty good here. I hope you all like it.
Thanks to all those who have favorited/followed/reviewed/read this. You're all amazing.
Snowflake
"Whoa."
Leo looked toward the cargo ramp as he zipped up his jacket. Skye was already wearing hers, and now stood on the edge of the ramp, gazing up at the clouds. Her eyes were wide in wonder and awe as she stared up at the white powder drifting down to the earth.
"Welcome to Norway," he quipped, moving to stand beside her. "Snows a lot here, I guess."
"I've never really seen it before," Skye said softly.
"What, Norway?" Leo frowned. It didn't surprise him. From what little she'd told him about her past, he could guess that foster homes didn't exactly include international vacations.
She shook her head. "Snow," she told him. "I mean, I've seen pictures, but I've never seen it actually snow in person. It's really cool."
"Well, it is cold out, so that can explain it," he jokes lamely. "Way to make a fool of yourself."
However, Skye actually laughed. She stretched out her glove to catch a snowflake. Bringing it back, she studied the little cluster of white fluff. "Is it true that no two snowflakes are alike?"
Leo nodded. "Every single one of them is unique. Kind of like a person."
Skye raises an eyebrow. "Did you just compare a snowflake to a person?" she giggled.
"Yeah," Leo shrugged and chuckled. "Yeah, I…I guess so. I mean, each one is different, and every one of them is special." "To someone out there."
"That's really sweet, you know." Skye grinned at him mischievously. "So who do you think will get more pissed if we build a snowman in the cargo bay?"
Please review! See you tomorrow!
