I nod slightly as she talks about the swans. “Thank you.” My lips finding her forehead and brushing against it lightly. Somehow, this little imp had wiggled her way so deep into my heart that it was hard for me to think of a life without her. I did so love to cuddle with her, the way she would press her side against my own and her face would find all kinds of ways to rub against my shoulder or my neck. I did so hope she never grew out of the easy love she gave to most.
“You are right of course, but I don’t know it’s just…” I sigh softly, blowing my breath out past my lips. “I am not the quiet, sneaky type. I could be, if I practiced but I would much rather face something head on.” I tilt my head slightly, keeping my golden eyes on her. “I don’t mind secrets and all that hush, hush spy shit, but I would never choose it for myself.” I pause a moment. “Does that make sense?” And then I laugh. “I suppose I’m more like your daddy, straight to the point and blunt as hell.”
Wouldn’t that be fun down the road?
I wrap my wing around her a little tighter as she snuggles closer, her body offering me comfort and I smile a small smile for her. “Sometimes. Sometimes it’s easier to pretend like they are still around, even if it hurts more when I realize they might not be.” I press my lips against her cheek, draping my neck over hers lightly as I pull her in for a small quick hug. “Thank you, baby girl.” I say softly, “So do I.” I hold her tightly for a moment before letting her go, my golden eyes falling from her own to look back out across the ocean that surrounded our home.
