There she was, bare foot, standing under the leaves of an Oak tree on the outskirts of the middle of town. Neck craned as she struggled to see up to the top. Or, even just through the first layer of leaves that were blocking her line of sight.
“All I’m saying,” despite the very focused attention she had on the tree, she hadn’t lost sense of the person she had been standing by. Whether or not the first half of this conversation actually made it out of her mind or not was still yet to be seen, but it all made perfect sense to her. “-is that the only way you’ll know if you can fly... is by climbing up there.” She paused, finally pulling her gaze from the tree to look at the person she was with, one finger pointing up toward the top.
“And jump.” Then she flashed a smile. “It’ll be fine. Great. I’ll be right here.”
