Cullen

I'm going to burst, I don't like this. I just want to be back down on earth with Maia and Arabella and Gwen and have a good ol' time and tell Maia that I like her and have for a long time. I just want to tell them everything I've seen and just talk to someone again.

I look down at the world and see Washington and Oregon, but not yet Kit-Island. I stare hoping that my pod will speed up and I'll get to look down at it, but I am disappointed.

"Y'know guppy," I say as if she can hear me. "I think I love you." My heart thumps really fast and I smile. It feels like she's right next to me smiling and hugging me. I then go back to that moment where she came into my room in the middle of the night and told me she wanted to be trained. We hugged, I was shirtless, it was a special moment.

I think about the moment I could have fallen in love with her, but I can't choose a specific moment, so I come to the conclusion that I always loved her. I fell in love with Maia the moment she looked me in my eyes and smiled when we were two. My first memory was a blessing.
