My gaze was held firmly by the moon.
My mind raced and my body froze as I recalled the events of that night. The air was still and the entire forest lay silent in its respect for us. What we had done seemed necessary. It was instinctive. Yet I was still troubled by what everyone would think. Showing one of the domesticated our ways was ill advised. Not wanting to meet her gaze I strained my peripheral vision to search for her. She still sat beside me. Her head tilted slightly to the side and pointing discreetly at me. She was clearly very intrigued by what I was doing. I was still taking it all in. If only she remembered how to feel this way. I couldn’t help but appreciate her beauty. She kept herself very groomed and tidy but even if that were suddenly stripped away from her I was sure that I would still be intrigued by her presence. I was used to taking care of myself but sometimes I didn’t always do my best at that. Having her around I felt compelled to take care of her as well. This annoyed me because I never asked for any more responsibility. This selfish feeling fled from my mind and was replaced by the urge to provide for her as I became more aware of how cold she was. I closed the minute gap in between our bodies by pressing mine against hers at the same time I put my arm around her small frame. Seeing as she had no tail I was willing to cover lower back with mine.
