Luz Comes Back!

Coming to Terms

Amity Pov:

It felt odd with Luz back, not anything bad of course, in fact it was the opposite. However, since she's only been back for what, a day? This wasn't something I was used to, she hadn't talked to me outside of the meetup at the cafe although granted that was only about maybe ten hours ago.
With her gone for so long I just kind of expected her to want to talk to me although that was probably just due to me being lovesick. Although, Eda did message me that she was probably tired since she worked at a hospital before she came back, so that means she probably knew not to message me at work.
Luz was more beautiful than ever, and it was hard for me to focus on my work today because of that, although I do have to admit I was still just shocked for the first two or so hours.

Finally came the end of my shift and I got home an- Buzz buzz
I looked at my scroll aaaand, for real? I forgot I set a reminder for my medication for when I got home, I'm such a dork aren't I?
I went to my nightstand and got out my pill bottle, two left now, and took the medicine before hopping onto my bed.

It had been a nightly routine for four years for me to pull out a scrapbook of mine, all the photos inside being of the part of my life when I was the happiest, when Luz was around.

There were a good amount of photos from my hideaway in the library, and some that were us at Hexside or just out and about with friends, but either way I had still gotten to see her in all of them. But today it felt odd, because now I had seen her again, and in person too! I didn't have to see her in just these photos or in my head, I could actually just go and say hi to her!

Nonono, she'd think I'm weird. And probably not the cute weird that she is either...

After looking through the photos a bit longer I put the scrapbook away and decided to scroll through Pensta one last time before turning off my scroll for the night and good thing, cause I had just got a message.

"Hey Amity! It's me, Luz! I didn't know what time you got off of work so I wasn't sure when to message you but I didn't want to wait to late either 😅"

She was just as adorable as ever, this was just amazing for me, it felt like, for the first time in years, I wasn't in pain.  It felt like I was flying, the blaze in my heart keeping me afloat.

"Oh no worries Luz! I'm glad you messaged me right now actually, was just about to go to bed. So, what're you doing up so late? :)"

Oh Titan I shouldn't have sent that smiley face...  That was so weeeeeirrrd

"Oh nothin much, just rereading my GOOD WITCH AZURA! I left all my books here and almost forgot, luckily Eda kept up with them! Also, we do need to stop by that hidey-hole of yours in the library so we can read the fifth book together!"

"That sounds good Luz, does tomorrow work for you? I guess around 9 or so? Saturday, Sunday, and Monday are the days I have off."

"Of course Ams! Want me to meet you at the library?"

"Yeah that sounds great! I'll make sure that I'm there, I do help out in my free time so he let me keep the keycard and hideaway, I hope that means that he doesn't mind how late I come in"

"Well I should probably let you go, after all you were just working all day, linda bruja!Goodnight Ams! :) 💤"

"Goodnight Luz, can't wait for tomorrow!"

Her talking in Spanish was one thing I never had gotten over getting excited about and with how bright I could tell I was smiling I knew it hadn't yet changed. Just like it had been all those years before, I still had no clue what she was saying when she spoke it but it had still made me happy nonetheless.

I fell asleep at some point soon after is what I can only assume, considering my scroll was still in my hands and I hadn't pulled the blanket onto myself and that I also was still sitting when I woke up. I rolled up my scroll and it vanished like usual.

I looked around and went and found my handbag, after all I didn't want to leave the house without it. I looked through the purse cause I didn't know if maybe Edric or Emira had screwed with it but luckily that answer was a no. However, I did find the necklace I had bought the day prior in there, so never mind, Emira had messed with it. There was a note taped to the back saying, "Give this to that gf of yours!" So dumb, but it was so dumb that it was a good idea.

I walked to the owl house, I figured I should stop by and say hi or maybe we could hang out or something but when I knocked nobody was home so I left. I guess she must've been making plans to see other people from Bonesborough considering she hadn't been here for four years and I told her that we should hang out at nine at night. Though Hooty was there, luckily still asleep.

Against my better judgement, I decided that I wanted to head in, so I opened the door, Hooty not waking up as it happened, and walked inside. I had shut the door and walked upstairs, the necklace in hand, and walked into Luz's room. I looked around for a moment, this had been a new experience for me, cause I hadn't remembered coming her more than once.

After looking around for a moment I decided I shouldn't be creeping around so I left the house immediately and flew off on my staff and then went to the library and to the hideaway where I had started to clean out and dust off everything inside so that I could try and make tonight the best it could be.
