Locks gave her time to try and compose herself, a chance to try and and sort out her thoughts before the door finally opened. Valerie didn’t even say hello as she looked up at his face, a rush of words tumbled forth before she could stop them. “You know, girls like me aren’t supposed to have lives, not like normal ones do and I’ve been fine with that. For years I never wavered, I never even considered the possibility that I could have anything beyond my calling and then I met you, and I felt this…”
Valerie’s teeth scraped over her lower lip and she breathed, “Connection… And you... No matter how hard I try to convince myself this will end in flames you’re there, everyday in my thoughts and you saw…” She looked to the sky, emotions bubbling up, and laughed though it wasn’t funny. “I mean this is… Things could target you to get at me, do you know that? I’m a danger to be around, I could die tomorrow, or next week or in a year, and all I keep thinking…”
Rambling had not been part of her plan, but it appeared the blonde couldn’t stop, her expression was perplexed. “I’m twenty-ones years old, I’ve faced things that would turn people into lunatics, and for the first time I actually feel alive in ways that I never… And that’s terrifying but I… You see, I have a destiny to uphold, that’s so important, if I fail they could strip me of my abilities and lock me up and all I want to do is… Is to…”
Pale fingers, normally steady, grabbed the middle of Brian’s shirt as Valerie stepped closer. With her free hand she found his cheek, brushed her palm against it and went up on her tiptoes to capture his lips tentatively. Softly. The kiss only lasted a few seconds before she pulled back, breathless and a little shocked at herself. Valerie had finally ran out of words.
