“Do you think if I just booked it around the world, I’d fall off?”

“Babe, what?”

“I’m being serious,” Vi says defensively, sitting up from laying her head on your lap and staring you dead in the eyes. “Would I fall off?”

“Do you think the earth is flat?” You question back, eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

“Of course not, there’s pictures of it being round.”

“Okay…so how could you fall off it?”

“I-” she stops and thinks for a moment, frowning when she can’t think of a good answer.

“Tsk, whatever,” she grumbles, laying her head back in your lap.

You both sit in silence for a moment, sunlight pouring through the windows and birds chirping their songs.

It was peaceful.

Very peace-

“If you jump high enough you could make it to space probably,” you blurt.

“EXACTLY!” Vi yells, springing up from your lap and towards the balcony of your, now, shared apartment. “I’m gonna test it out.”

“Have fun,” you hum from the couch, reading a book that had caught your eye on your shopping adventure the day before.

Not even ten minutes later, Vi was laying in your lap again while blabbering about another question she was wondering.

“If mermaids were real, would they look more like a human or fish? Because what if we’re wrong with how they look? What if that’s why they don’t show themselves?”
