"No... wait..." she said pitifully as she fought to regain some sibilance of composure behind her scarf, feeling completely exposed and vulnerable... a feeling that she had vowed to never... ever... experience again. only her mother had ever seen her like this... when dad had passed... Suddenly she was 15 years old again, being held tightly in her mothers arms as she wept.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." She said over and over again as she finally gave in to the effects of the gas, pressing herself deeply into his embrace and sobbing like a little girl, her emotions swelling out of her control. She was terrified to pull her scarf down, knowing truthfully that she was carrying strong feelings for Gramani, but she had always done her best to push them down deep inside of herself because of the ever-present fear...
...the fear of rejection, of being discovered to be deeply insecure, and deeply wounded...
But there was something that was very special about this moment. All pretense was gone... all of her personas and masks were exposed... and for the first time, Kalie realized that the fear did not have any power over her. There was nothing else to loose... if Gramani was going to reject her, it was already too late for any recovery.
Kalie's body stopped shaking. She rested quietly in his arms, slowly breathing softly against his chest.
Finally she reached up and pulled the scarf down slowly from her face. She looked up into Gramani's eyes, and the gas in her system gently encouraged her emotions for him up to the surface. Her heart leapt out of her chest at the sight of her friend... her companion... whom she had been journeying with for so long now.
Gramani.
She reached up and placed her hand softly against the fur of his cheek, studying his face unabashedly and openly in her new found freedom.
"I want to tell you something..." She said to him softly in a hushed tone, her eyes moving back and forth between his, "... I know you might not... feel the same... and that this might be the end of... us..." She placed her other hand up behind his head and ran her fingers softly through his hair, "...But you need to know that... I love you, Gramani... I have for... some time." Her voice trailed off as her hands froze in place, looking up at him with an edge of fear suddenly flooding back in.
She waited to see what he would choose to do with the fragile heart that he now held in his hands.
