PERFECT SYMMETRY
2. Over so soon.
"Do you think fairies exist?" Nessie asks in the tone a college student would question his professor. Leah seems to ponder for a moment her question seriously but ends up breaking into a grin.
"Certainly" She answers. Nessie follows her into the kitchen with Claire towing behind them. Leah senses Nessie's questioning eyes and then adds "Werewolves and vampires do"
"Ooo scaary"Claire shudders hiding her face on Leah's dress. Leah bends over to pick Claire up, and she sees Emily try to glare unsucessfully at her. She ignores her cousin and starts to fix a plate with Emily's cooking treats for both girls.
"They're not evil" Nessie cooes to Claire. It amuses Leah to watch her comfort a girl who looks almost her age in a grown up way. For a moment she almost forgets the reason why they're here.
"Could you keep reading to us while we eat?" Nessie asks politely, and Leah nods bringing out the plate and Claire into the living room. She picks up the book.
"Bella reads Romeo and Juliet, and while I can understand the appeal of forbidden love. I certainly like yours better. Ella Enchanted seems magical"
"I want a furygodmodeer " Claire's statement mirror's what's behind Nessie's eyes. And it makes Leah truly smile again. Because despite what lays ahead of them, despite all the growing up this girl's been forced upon. There's some innocence there. And that she can't hate.
And while it may have been easier to hate. She decided the complete opposite a long time ago. Maybe it's too soon to say she loves her. But she certainly cares for her.
Her thoughts are interrupted by the alarm of a clock being set off.
Emily drops the ladle, Rachel closes her book, Kim strangles a cry, and Leah lets out a sigh.
Time is up.
And they're not back.
