Star feels so right in my arms, so perfect, her heart beating like a trapped bird against my chest. I stroke her hair, kiss her softly, tenderly. It feels strange… my heart feels as though it can't contain all the happiness she gives me, yet it aches, too…. She's so soft, so small, yet she has such power over me. She can render me happy or miserable with no more than a glance or a word.
"I love you." I speak the words into her hair, just beside her ear. She raises her head with a smile, her eyes wet. Gods, I love her so much!
Then Raina's calling for Star. I miss much of the exchange, still so rapt in my feelings. Raina is gone before I can get the sense of what she's saying, but Star stays with me, so it can't be too bad….
