Love poems (Leah Clearwater story)

Chapter 12 ~ The rest of the truth

Vivienne and Embry spent the day together, making the most of their time and deepening their bond. They started by raiding the kitchen for a makeshift breakfast, laughing as they put together a mix of cereal, toast, and scrambled eggs. The casual banter and easy camaraderie made Vivienne feel at home.

After breakfast, Embry suggested they take a walk along the beach. The sky was a clear, brilliant blue, and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore provided a soothing backdrop. They strolled along the sand, talking about everything from their favourite movies to childhood memories.

"So, what was London like?" Embry asked, skipping a stone across the water.

Vivienne smiled, reminiscing. "Busy, full of life. I miss it sometimes, but La Push has its own charm. It's quieter here, more peaceful."

Embry nodded. "Yeah, it's definitely a change of pace. But there's something special about this place. You'll see."

They continued their walk, eventually making their way to a rocky outcrop that jutted into the sea. They climbed up and sat side by side, watching the horizon.

"I can see why you love it here," Vivienne said, taking in the view.

Embry grinned. "Told you. It's not so bad once you get used to it."

After their beach walk, they headed back to Embry's house and decided to watch a movie. They settled on a classic action flick, lounging on the couch with a big bowl of popcorn between them. Vivienne found herself getting lost in the movie, but also enjoying the simple pleasure of Embry's company.

When the movie ended, they played a few rounds of a video game, each trying to outdo the other with competitive enthusiasm. Embry's easygoing nature made it fun, and Vivienne felt herself relaxing more and more.

Later in the afternoon, they took a break outside. Embry showed her some of the best spots around La Push, including a hidden trail that led to a beautiful clearing surrounded by tall trees.

"This place is amazing," Vivienne said, spinning around to take in the scenery.

Embry leaned against a tree, watching her with a smile. "I'm glad you like it. It's one of my favorite spots."

They sat on the grass, chatting until the sun began to set. As the sky turned shades of pink and orange, Vivienne felt a sense of contentment wash over her. She had found a true friend in Embry, someone who made her feel welcomed and understood.

Eventually, they headed back to Embry's house. "Today was really great," Vivienne said as they walked up the path.

"Yeah, it was," Embry agreed. "We should do this more often."

"Definitely," Vivienne replied with a smile.

As they reached the door, Embry turned to her. "Thanks for spending the day with me, short stack."

Vivienne laughed. "Anytime, Wolfie."

With a final wave, Vivienne headed home, her heart light and her spirits high. She had found a sense of belonging in La Push, and she couldn't wait to see what other adventures awaited her with her new friends.

After an exhilarating day with Embry, Vivienne felt both tired and content as she made her way back to her room. The house was quiet, with her dad and Tiffany already retired for the night. She took a moment to reflect on the day's events, a smile playing on her lips as she thought about Embry and the newfound sense of belonging she felt.

She changed into her pyjamas and brushed her teeth, the familiar routine comforting in its simplicity. As she climbed into bed, the sounds of the night filtered in through her open window. The gentle rustle of leaves, the distant call of an owl, and the rhythmic crashing of the waves against the shore all blended into a soothing lullaby.
