Owen moved closed and Julianna hunched her shoulders, as if she didn’t want him closer, but he touched her face and that tension eased away. She leaned her face into his palm, as he insisted she look at him. She was hurt, and a little angry, but her feelings hadn’t changed, his touch still had an effect on her. Julianna wanted to believe what he was saying-that his intentions had been honorable- and she did. As soon as the apology fell from his lips, he was absolved of any wrongdoing, by her.
But then his tone took a turn. His hand pulled away from her, and it was his turn to be angry. Her tail ceased its movements as her ears pinned backwards against her hair. She hadn’t thought to look at things from his perspective. She opened her mouth as if she would speak, but closed it again. Julianna hadn’t know there had been so much on the line for Owen. She had always assumed he had just been an ambassador of sorts, to oversee the proceedings of the court’s decisions and represent the C.A.F. One of her ears popped upwards at the correction. Relationship he had almost said. She wondered if he thought of their time together as more than a island vacation fling.
Both of her ears perked to attention when he grew louder, her eyes widened a touch. Not because no one had ever raised their voice to her like that, but because in their short time together Owen had not spoken to her this way. “I didn’t...I never-” Julianna pulled her lip between her teeth, watching him stare off and to the side. She dropped her skirts, careless for the wet sand and high tide, and took a step towards him. “I didn’t think of it that way,” she admitted. “I didn’t know there was so much on the line for you. But the time I spent with you was genuine.”
Small as it was, Julianna was not fond of the distance between them. It felt too literal to the chasm of events that had almost split them apart. Anklets jingled as she moved forward, three quick steps that put her directly in front of him and close enough to wrap her arms around his waist. “I do want to hear from you. I’m sorry that I thought the worst of you when you have been kind to me.” Her ears fell flat, sticking out of either side of her head. She looked up at him through dark lashes. “I’m going to miss you.”

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
