Skye's POV
Skye's POV
What was with Vesta and only planting one kind of crop for the whole season?! After getting a small amount of turnips from here and there (if you spread it out they don't notice as much.) I headed for the farm. My heart began to pound as I crossed the bridge. Half of me wanted to turn and flee, the other half wanted to run to her farm. I must have stood on the crossing paths for half an hour trying to figure out what to do next. My feet decided for me and started to, slowly, walk towards my angel's farm. I tried to calm myself down. It's ok. I thought to myself. It's so late, she's probably sleeping… Before I knew it I was on the farm's grounds.
My face flushed, and my heart pounded so loud that you could probably hear it. I turned the knob to the house and peeked inside, the coast was clear. I carefully opened the door and snuck inside. There was a sleeping dog next to her bed so I had to be careful not to wake it up. I looked down, and inside the bed was a sleeping angel. Her face was pink in color, so I felt her forehead. Warm. She had a fever.
I looked around the house and found a small washcloth. When she had a cool washcloth on her head I turned to leave. I heard a low growl sound from the bed. I turned around to find two pairs of deep sea green eyes starring at me. She and her dog were awake.

The dog was still growling at me and started to take a couple of steps forward. I backed up a bit being cautious. She jumped out of bed and went to the dog's side. She held him back and soothed "No Coco. It's okay! He's a good person." The dog whimpered and licked his master's arm. She smiled down at him, then turned her gaze to me. I could have sworn her eyes were a pale blue! Her face reddened a little as she looked at me. Could the fever be getting worse?
I couldn't help but blush. It must look pretty bad from her point of view. A strange person in her house, with her dog growling at him. I felt like an idiot. I blurted out the first thing that came to mind. "Your eye color…" I would have smacked myself in the head if I wasn't standing right in front of her. "What color is it?" She asked coughing a little. I was so confused. I chuckled a little out of nervousness. "My silly angel… Do you not know your own eye color?" She shook her head and looked at the floor. Idiot! I thought to myself. "It changes." Her soft voice sounded.
I thought aloud "What?" I looked at her and she looked up. "My eye color changes." She was truly an angel. "When ever I feel a great amount of emotion my eye color changes on its own." She explained. Then she started to cough. She squeezed her eyes shut and fell to the floor. Her sickness was worsening. I rushed to her side and held her in my arms. After a moment of listening to her deep breathing she opened her eyes. "Skye…" She looked into my eyes and breathed heavily again. Then her eyes closed again. I held her close to me and picked her up. I covered her with covers and stroked her soft straw-berry hair. She looked so peaceful when she was sleeping!
I took the little time to notice her features. Everything about her was perfect! My eyes narrowed in on her lips. I inched ever so slightly closer… Our lips were closing distance… Her dog let out another low growl. I chuckled to myself… Who was I kidding? I wasn't fit to kiss an angel. I wrote a small note and left it on her dining table. Then I stepped out of the house and closed the door slightly behind me.

Claire's POV
The door closed quietly. I sighed and buried my head in the covers. When I fainted for a second he had lifted me up and put me on the bed. I came back to reality and opened my eyes for a second. He was still there so I closed them again deciding to let things be as if I were asleep. I felt his presence get closer. I could feel his hot, short breaths on my face. Coco let out a low growl and the heat on my face was gone. He chuckled a bit and left.
After a few seconds of grieving about my deprived kiss I slowly took the covers off my head. A white envelope caught my eye. I jumped out of bed and grabbed it. I flipped it over to the back to see if any address was there. There was no address but in a small corner where a stamp would be there was a drawing of angel wings. I tore open the letter and ripped out the insides making sure nothing was left behind. I opened the letter carefully and read what was inside:
Dear Angel,
I can't seem to stay away from you… I'm kinda curious about your eyes so I wish to meet you at the goddess' pond once more.
Singed with love,
Your knight.
I couldn't help feeling excitement well up inside of me. I looked forward to tomorrow.
