The professor was about to say more, but there was someone at the door, motioning her to follow. She stood, reluctantly letting the scientist go. "I'll be back, okay?" Aurea promised, giving Fennel a kiss on the forehead before standing.
As she turned to leave, she could almost swear that Fennel's hand made a move. A slight twitch. Hopeful that it had meant something, she stopped in place, turning back once more to see if it was true or not. One minute became two and she could hear the person, still waiting at the door, call for her once more. I must be losing my mind.The professor thought wryly with a shake of her head before following after them.
Had she waited a bit longer, she would have noticed how flushed Fennel appeared. Her bandaged hand reached for the spot where the professor had kissed her.
She had actually woken up sometime during her visit, only finding it too tiring, too groggy to move. Never had she realized that it was Aurea until she finally spoke. Even then Fennel was too stunned to move, too fatigued to move, until she felt the professor lips on her forehead.
But she had to let her go.
