Dani was stirring a bit. Just a little, enough to open his eyes to see who he was laying on. But the image didnt come clear, and he whispered, "Sorrow?" Hoarsly.
Avi kissed the top of his head. Then she said, "I can't wait for this war to end. Then we can live together in peace, and maybe start a family, and we wouldn't have to worry about being judged for what we are."
"Well, that's what I meant. I mean... we all know the war isn't going to end for years and years and...." Then her voice trailed off. After a minute of silence she said, "Alli... I'm scared."
Her heart sped up as she spoke, her voice at the same volume as his. "I'm scared that this war will never end. nd I'm scared that you'll leave me to fight, and then you'll never come back. If you go... I want to go too."
