_Two women sit on a bench, in a park alone, with magnolia trees and wildflowers… with each others company. One girl leans her head on the others shoulder._

“Sar…. How’s Aquene, are they causing you trouble?” _Tess asks an arm around her shoulder._

“No, their very kind. She has a cat too!”_ Sarah chuckles._

“Is it my kind of cat?” _Tess smiles slightly, something rare and unusual for her._

“No, no your allergic to this one.” _Sarah giggle wrapping an arm around her waist._

__

_Tess giggles a bit,_ “That’s a shame” _She says playing with her hair,_ “That means I can’t visit you.”

“Well I’m visiting you! So problem solved.” _Sarah sighs closing her eyes._

__

_They sit in silence for a few minutes, Tess observing the nature around her with Sarah resting._

“Do you ever wonder why we exist?” _Tess whispers, picking up a wildflower and putting it in Sarah’s hair as she sits up in worry._

“Hey, what’s wrong! Why are you thinking-“ _Sarah rambles taking a hand to adjust the flower so it doesn’t fall._

“Hey.” _Tess puts a finger on her mouth,_ “It’s not what you think, not now.” _Tess brushes her finger across her lips before letting her hand fall._

“Alright…” _Sarah ponders as she tries to find an answer,_ “I believe that you and I exist, for each other.”

_Tess looks at her with curiosity and admiration._

_Sarah chuckles nervously,_ “What? What’s that look for!” _Sarah smiles, that one smile that makes Tess have butterflies. The one where only her top teeth are showing. It’s not a full smile, it’s a smile of adorable nervousness that if played right, will turn into that full smile that causes Tess’s heart to leap._

__

“Nothin’ your just cute, and I’m happy your mine.” _Tess says smiling like a 6 year old with candy as Sarah’s smile grows. Her top and bottom teeth are visible, slightly parted as dimples form on her cheeks. God, how Tess loves that smile._

__

_Sarah kisses her cheek giggling, the flower in her hair falling down slightly. Tess holds her closer and adjusts the flower. She smiles down at who she has._

**_Sarah is Tess’s little flower…_**

Wow, It’s been a while since a Tess and Sarah.

High school is next week…

Some guy already tried for my number at orientation.

I said No Thanks, he was caught off guard and laughed. 😂
