:: from raps blog 😂 — She blinked suddenly, taken aback by the way the firelight lit up Cassandra’s eyes. It was such a sudden swell of emotion it made her head spin, and Rapunzel tried to laugh off the vibrant emotions. “I’m sorry- what were you saying? I know we should get back the caravan, it’ll be even closer to midnight soon — but let’s just stay out here a little longer.”

"Hey, if you want some more alone time, you don't have to convince me," she teased, gently nudging Rapunzel. While they had their own half of the caravan- one of the few rare perks of both being women was that nobody had questioned the sleeping arrangements- it was still quite packed in, and they generally didn't dare to get too close lest one of the boys come bursting through the shared door with yet another of their petty grievances. But all of the boys had gone to sleep by now- bar the animals, of course, but Cassandra had a feeling they wouldn't tell.
She just watched Rapunzel, the fire flickering and reflecting off of her, making her hair an even warmer golden hue. For a moment, Cassandra was transported back- back to the first day they met. Back to sitting by the fire on the outskirts of Corona, learning about each other, being so drawn together, but pulling back, as if afraid of being burned.
But she wasn't afraid anymore. Instead, Cassandra just reached over, gently cupping Rapunzel's hands within her own. "I missed this."
