She was engulfed by strong warm arms, pulled into something she found painful. They were drifting apart, moving away like plates of glaciers moving in a tidal flow. She couldn't do this. Her heart was with his at that moment, pulling him close. But that closeness, that passion and warmth they used to have--It had fizzled out, in a way it had become insatiably impossible to see the bond they had before. Tears streamed down her face, her hair falling in a curtain into her blue eyes. She didn't say anything, just gave the silence he needed to keep speaking. It frightened her, to think what would happen after.
What about that conversation with Mido? She seemed so sure of herself, so confident that things would go well. But now, she was on the verge of breaking down, hurting herself for the fear of something happening. What if they got to Anathema, and the drifting got worse? To the point of them not being mates?
Quietly, she accepted the gifts, moving away slightly to look at them they were wonderful, amazing indeed. Guilt burned in the back of the ivory girl's throat, choking out Thank you... She glanced down, pink nose pointing to the soil. "We're still drifting away Rain. Who knows how long it'll be until we are nothing, we'll hurt ourselves. I think we need a break, right now I can't do this. I can't be a mate. We've raised two good children--But us, I just can't--We're fizzling out. We're past the honeymoon stage." She felt bad for accepting the gifts, horrible in the way of taking them and leaving. "I'm going back to Anathema...You can come too--But us...We're not working."He'd voice was a whisper, soft and choked. "I love you Rain. Know that, even if we aren't going to be together..." Sammi would wear his pendant. She would know.
