She let the moment spool out until it felt like she was drowning too – her body weighted down by gravity, her ribcage crushed against November’s, November kissing her back until she couldn’t breathe, until she was bewildered by it.
November had reacted. Phyri wouldn’t have imagined that. No, what she had imagined was pinning her down more thoroughly, curling her hands around her pale wrists, at letting her mouth wander down that pale throat – but of course before she could, November had frozen.
With a sharp inhale, Phyri finally released her, abruptly finding it safer to sprawl beside her on the ground and angle her face to the sky, rather than have to get up and look at her directly, have to carry on as ordinary. (Well, as if any interaction they had ever had could be mistaken for ordinary –) But never mind November Malfoy at all: Phyri would perhaps rather lie here in the dirt than have to stand up and face herself, to decide just what she had ever been trying to achieve in that.
