Leonis' POV
Quietly, patiently, I focus on the sounds of the crickets and the owls, the cool wind blowing in the night, the slow rippling of water in the swamp, the rustle of leaves and in the midst of it all, I hear her call my name.
'L_Leonis are you there?' I hear her voice, low, unsure and it almost carries a hint of yearning. Or am I just hearing what I want to hear?
'Leonis, can you hear me? If_ If you're here, answer me.' Does she know that I made a connection with her and she's trying to reach me or she's just calling out to me in hopes that I'll respond?
I close my eyes, take a deep breath and I can see her, tucked under a blanket, she's mumbling something grumpily. She's so beautiful. She'll suffocate herself if she covers her nose like that.
