Summer fast approaching means longer days, and brighter mornings...
even when most of the city is fast asleep, the world itself is wide awake.
It's been just over a week and a half since my suspension, waiting news of what ever could come next for me... and frankly I've been anticipating the worst. But for Valerie, it's important for me to stay optimistic. Being her teacher and mentor doesn't suddenly stop because I'm not at Edenbrook. And being her fiance and partner doesn't stop at all...
Half asleep half a wake, I reached out for V across the bed-
Only to find a fairly warm mattress space, tinted by tuberose...
I sat up just a little, and looked around, just to see her in the chair Infront of the window, watching the city below...her favourite thing to do when she can't sleep.
"... Valerie?"
She looked to me from where she was sitting, knees to do her chest and gave a hint of a smile "hi..."
'i sat up fully and returned the soft smile "hi sweetheart... everything okay?"
She nodded slowly, biting her lip before saying "just thinking."
"Care to do some thinking in a warm bed with me?" I raised a brow
"Oh E I don't want to keep you-"
I shook my head and said "trust me. I was having a difficult night."
I pulled back the cover a little, and she smiled before tip toeing over and climbing back in as I pulled her up to me.
Both of us nestled down just a little as I held her in my arms, her arms about my torso as she sighed..
Kissing her temple, I asked "worried about your assessment today?"
There was a murmur of yes and I nodded while stroking her hair "how come?"
"Just... this could be the final nail in the coffin, E... they're going to look for any reason to doubt me and something practical like this..."
She absentmindedly drew circles with her finger tip on my chest, her cheek pressed softly against me "i'm embarrassed to say I'm scared."
"Don't be embarrassed...I know everything bloom throws is unpredictable... and I know it's nerve wracking. But you know what?"
