The morning came much quicker than Islinda wanted. No, she dreaded the moment she would have to leave Valerie. Perhaps that was why both of them went at it like rabbits last night to the morning. For once, Islinda was grateful she had the herb that prevented pregnancy else she could be with child already.
But even with a few hours of sleep, Islinda was strong on her feet and was simply wary of leaving Valerie. Sure, this was not the last time she would visit him but it strangely felt like one. Perhaps it might have to do with the both of them being together yesterday. Everything had been perfect and gave her a peek at what her future with him could look like. But now that it was time to wake up to reality, it was scary.
"While I love putting on pants, this sure feels weird," Islinda commented as she took in her appearance in the clean masculine clothes he had given her to change into.
