Danger Noodle Thoughts

Cairi smiled as she listened to Zitian ramble happily about the little Fall Festival they were coming back from. Really it was more on the scale of a farmer's market, but the games and festival food stands that were set up made up the difference.
They were walking arm in arm, Zitian holding Cairi's bag that held the little souvenirs, fresh apple cider, and the fancy candied apples she'd gotten for them to share. She was musing at how different her life was now that he was in it.
She didn't know how it had happened, though she could hazard a guess. But somehow he had slipped past all of the walls she had built to protect herself and what was left of a shattered heart. Cairi laughed at something he said. Before he showed up she hadn't laughed in quite a long time. There was laughter, liveliness, and fun in her life again. Sure there had also come some stress, but Cairi felt it was well worth it. Especially compared to what she had been through in the past.
Her garden wall and the cottage beyond that was within sight. She felt happy that he was here with her. She wanted him here with her and she wanted to be there for him. Just wanted him. Someone who was so caring towards her that she didn't know quite how to process it sometimes. Someone who she felt safe to be vulnerable with.
"Zitian... I think I need to talk tae ye about somethin... somethin important." She said when she had an opening to, and just as they were coming up to her garden gate.
