boo: Updating a little early, since it's my dad's birthday tomorrow, and I'm bringing him a cake.
Disclaimer: Before you go getting all excited and think boo has money, she made the cake in class.
boo: Yes indeed I did! And I got 89% on it too! ^^
Disclaimer: Yes, yes, very nice. boo doesn't own ToS, just a $40,000 debt in student loans.
boo: /sigh.../
Dance
The day he knew she would be okay was the day they first came to Hima. She no longer had to make an effort to talk to him. She still flinched when his hands accidentally brushed hers, but she was improving. She taken over cooking, which was fine with him. She was better at it anyway, and she had a knack for finding edible herbs that made their bland food supply more palatable.
They had just checked in to the hotel when they heard the music. Anna's head had snapped up so quickly he thought she would have whiplash. She rushed over to the window and looked out. She grabbed his hand and dragged him out the door. Outside they found a flute player, a drummer, and a fiddler playing a lively song. in the space before then people danced, wheeling and turning.
She was still holding his hand. He looked down at her hand holding his, realizing how nice it felt there, like... it belonged there. It was so small, but so warm. It fit exactly perfect in his, as if their hands had been made for each other. His gaze flicked up to her face. She was watching the dancers, a small smile on her face. Her long brown hair was streaked with red in the last light of the setting sun, her dark green eyes flickering with enjoyment.
His heart thudded forcefully in his chest as he realized she was beautiful.
She looked up at him, her smile widening when she caught him watching her. "Want to dance?" She asked shyly. He smiled slightly back, his hand tightening around hers as he pulled her into the crowd of people, into his arms, and into the dance.
And, though he would not realize for some time, into his heart.
boo: Kindly review and tell me what you think! If I get ten reviews on this chapter, I'll update early!
