The sun was shining brightly in the sky, a drop of sweat was running down your forehead when you got up and finished watering the garden.

Talia watched everything from a little further away, leaning against the tree where you liked to spend time together as children. Seeing you there again was strange, she hadn't seen you since you were 16, when you moved to the city with your parents and she stayed.

You were flesh and blood, your grandmothers were friends and you were always together running around the field and causing chaos wherever you went.

The maple tree had a swing where you would take turns to use, His initials were carved into the lowest part of the tree, where people wouldn't see them unless they got down low and paid close attention. That tree brought back many memories, she looks at the maple leaves and sighs remembering the silly promises as a child.

Talia always liked you, but she never had the courage to say it, and now that you were back in the countryside, 4 years later, adult and mature, she wanted more than anything to have you all to herself.

You guys had talked a lot in the two months since you arrived, but Talia had the feeling that you were becoming just friends and she felt frustrated. Sure, she was happy to be your friend again, but she would rather not have to go through the frustration of not being able to kiss you even when she's an adult.

She comes out of her trance being pulled back to reality by you who snaps your fingers in front of her face, asking if she would go to your grandparents' dinner tonight.

You know i wouldn't miss your grandma's apple pie, that and my granny wouldn't let me stay home even if i wanted to, so... Talia finally answers, clearing her throat and crossing her tanned arms over her chest. Her eyes linger on your face, discreetly chewing your features.
