were all just scars in the making

Just as the fighter had been touched to know she’d helped change the dark wolf’s life for the better, the hybrid’s soft promise seemed to have struck a chord in the dark auburn girl. Blind’s jaw loosened at her words, her mismatched eyes turning attention away from the Vigiles pinned underneath her. She closed her mouth once she became aware of her expression and smiled, affirming what Vesper had said. And that would be the end of that.
“So,” the tawny coywolf said in a smooth, lazy drawl, “no secrets.” Her expression was cheeky for a moment before she propped herself up with one elbow. Not quite sitting up, it wasn’t the most comfortable of positions, but at the moment she didn’t really give a damn. One paw continued to run lightly through the girl’s long hair, fingers lightly twirling the locks before letting them fall back down, her movement slow.
“I’ll tell you one secret,” Vesper went on, and while there was still a hint of mischief about her eyes, another emotion dominated her expression—or a host of emotions, among them something very tender. Her hand paused in its exploration of Blind’s hair and paused on her cheek. She smirked then, as if amused at herself, and admitted in a low murmur, “I really want to kiss you right now.”
