โฃ again. and i would love
to get to spend more time
with you. ``
a smile had settled it's way
back on her face now. ava
truly was another daughter
to her. and she had missed
having her around.
`` they don't know? ``
a frown settled over her face
once again as she quietly
turned to follow the other
inside the building. just very
grateful that ava had agreed to
allow her to help.
`` why don't you come and
stay with us for a while? i
know henry would love to
see you โฃ
teeth close around lower lip as she stares at the other for a long moment before finally nodding her head.
"okay. okay. just . . . . . not here. please. my friends don't know."
that word, ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐, still feels strange on her tongue. she can't quite place when the shift โ
`` no, you're not. i know you
better than you think i do ava.
please, just let me help. ``
her words were almost a plead
to the other. oh how she hated
to see her suffering even a little
bit.
`` you know this doesn't hurt me,
and it helps you far better than
that medication โฃ
a few rapid blinks, head shaking as she takes two steps back.
"i'm okay."
a lie, and likely one that janet can see right through.
"iโ i'm on new stabilizers, higher dosage. i've just been . . . . . overworking, wearing myself too thin. i'm fine."
that hamper was placed down
the moment she spotted that
flicker.
`` let me help... ``
her voice was soft as she
walked over to the other, the
offer to go inside all but
forgotten for that moment in
time. there was something
more she needed to worry
about.
she flickers briefly while approaching the other woman, eyes rolling in response to her body, once again, doing whatever the hell it wants.
"well you found me."
it seemed like a better idea, after getting mixed up with valentina, to keep her distance. she had been too scared โ
a glance back over her shoulder,
lips curling up in a wide smile.
`` ava.. ``
it was a sigh of relief that left
her lips, body fully turning to the
other now. it had been a long
while since she had heard from
the younger woman.
`` you're a hard woman to track
down you know. ``
she's on her way back to the watchtower, her new home, after a morning run.
eyes widen as she she slows, spotting janet approaching the front door.
"janet?"
