[ As he laughs, a flicker of doubt passes over her face. Did he not claim that exact thing last time? "I'm all yours," he had said in that nonchalant manner of his. ]

She tilts her head up, searching his eye with her own, trying to guess meaning into his actions. Even knowing how futile it would be to try and glimpse the truth in his expression, to catch the bruised shade of his innermost feelings. At times, the both of them willfully misunderstand each other, she knows.

So what does she want of him? Something unsteady beats in her chest. She curls her hands there, protective. Defensive. ]
I ask that you're here whenever I come through that door.
