Believe

by Keeper of Tomes

Little anecdotes about daily life in the Atmos, on both sides of a waging war. Lives change, and yet somehow, people cling to the little things. Beauty is found in unexpected places. Hate lives side by side with love. 3rd drabble series, but not the last!

23. One More Time

"Ha, real funny, Finn."

Every. Single. Time.

I'd ask her, over and over.

"Please, just one dance?"

"Ha, real funny, Finn."

And she'd turn back to...whatever she was doing. Mapping, cleaning, refining crystals, and on and on.

I'd grin my broadest grin, stand right behind her, and ask, one more time.

"One dance?"

Same answer.

"Ha, real funny, Finn."

But I leave the radio on.

Just in case.
