You start drifting off the path again, your attention already somewhere deeper in the trees.
I notice before you’ve even gone a few steps.
My hand comes up and I hook a finger through one of the cords on your arm, tugging you back beside me.
“Stay here.”
My tone is calm, almost absentminded, like I’ve done this a hundred times.
You look at me.
I shrug slightly.
“You wander.”
A faint smile pulls at the corner of my mouth.
“…a lot.”
My hand drops away, but I keep an eye on you.
“You do that thing where you see something interesting and just… go.”
A small pause.
“You don’t even notice.”
I glance back at the path ahead, then at you again.
“…so I do.”
