Exhausted.
I am exhausted.
For the first time, I might actually get a good night's sleep.
Sierra is sitting at the kitchen table as Aaron and I stumble through the door, watching us with a smile of amusement.
"I'll see you guys in the morning," Aaron salutes us off before heading upstairs, disappearing into the darkness.
My body collapses into the chair across from Sierra, blowing out a sporadic breath. I feel like I just walked a million miles in the cold air, even though I was only at the Fair for three hours.
"Looks like you had a better date than me." She examines some papers.
"Uh," I place my nail between my teeth. "It was amazing."
"But?" She notices something is obviously wrong, but I'd rather not read into that.
"Well, tell me about your date and maybe I'll consider you telling you about mine," I smirk. Her eyes meet mine in an intense glare, one that I'm not backing down from.
She's my sister, by now she should've been prepared for the annoying younger version of her she wanted.
"Fine, but bring some ice cream." She yawns, shivering. "I'm starving."
We're a quarter through a tub of (F/IC/F) before she finally starts talking, and the first thing she says hooks me immediately.
"The partner showed up," My eyes go wide, stopping the binge on the ice cream to turn to her. She nods, digging her spoon into the tub. "Everything was going great,"
She resumes. "We met each other in this amazing, expensive restaurant downtown. He was really, really attractive- I mean he had the body of a French model-"
"You're drifting off topic!"
"Sorry!" She smacks her forehead. I can't help the laugh that escapes me, nearly choking on the piece of ice cream in my mouth. "Back to the point, this dude was really nice and sweet... until it was time to order-"
I raise my brow. "He ordered this giant platter for himself, but when I went to order, he cut me off and said salad for the lady,"
"What?" I drop the spoon.
"Yeah! That should've been a red flag, but luckily the waiter was super nice and asked me what I wanted. After that he was okay, I mean I was still a little pissed but I blew it off. But when he started saying some weird and derogatory things, I knew I had to get out of there,"
"And that's when the wife came?"
"No no no, the husband! He was married and had a husband but had the audacity to go on a date with me!" My mind can't handle all of this.
She sinks back against the couch, snatching the ice cream from my hands as I'm in shock.
Well... I'm definitely overreacting about my date then. "Just, tell me about yours maybe it'll make me feel better."
I snap out of my shocked stare of mind for her, unsure of how to begin. Then, I decide to go for the truth.
She seems to like Garroth by the end of the story, becoming more and more shocked by his actions. She likes his personality and the way he treats me, plus the fact that he paid. The littlest things she loves, just like me.
"But we got to the topic of Aeshma and..." She stares intently.
"And? Why would you be talking about Aeshma in the first place-"
