She looked at him with sincerity, pain in her grey eyes. She had a smile on her face still, that smile, always there. Never wavering, even when she wished it would.

“I don't like being at home,” She said softly. She had said this before, and knew Anthony knew that there was more going on. “I guess I just wish that you and I could just go away from all the stress that is waiting for me at home. Between sisters who think I am a freak and parents I can't tell about my emancipation, sometimes I just wish I could leave it all behind and start over. For now though, I am just content that I have you.” Her face brightened. She forced a big smiled and pushed him teasingly.

“Plus if I ran away with you my parents would probably just call the cops on you, since I'm still a minor.” She teased. Aeron looked wistfully at the stars.

“It would be great though wouldn't it?” She said dreamily “I can imagine us just running away, we could stay in my tree house for a while. I wouldn't starve because I'm lucky enough to have a hunter with me!” She said cheerily and nuzzled under his chin. Then playfully pushed him back into the grass and pinned him, her pink hair falling around them like a veil. She stared at his eyes for some time before slowly leaning down to kiss him, unable to resist herself this time, hoping her playfulness would distract him. She would tell him eventually, but for now she couldn't afford for anything to happen. She was so close to freedom.
