it had been a few days since she had been able to visit with laurie. vivianne dragged her along to visit her sick aunt in the next town and ella had been run ragged by the time they had returned. a mix of exhaustion and emotional sorrow had created the right mix to leave ella housebound for a couple of days upon their return. though it did warm her to know that she would return to see laurie once again. she did not have to rely on waiting for a letter, but she would once again get to see him in person. a thought that had kept her smiling throughout her trip.
thumb brushes over the smooth rock in her hand, just before skipping it across the pond with a gleeful smile. ella’s question had been posed in order to tease laurie, to see a blush rise into his cheeks and get him to sputter a bit over his words. there must have been someone in europe who had caught his eye ( not matter how much she might secretly wish they hadn’t. )
@worldsalight : if i were to kiss someone, it would be you. ( x )
so his answer surprises her. blue eyes widening a bit as she turns to look at him, leaned against a nearby tree with an almost shy smile on his lips. it takes ella a moment to gather her thoughts, unsure of just how to react to such a sentiment. ❝ you-you would? ❞
