Distance

(From Ella's Perspective)

Since that night, things had changed between us. He was not avoiding me, nor was he touching me. And by touching, I meant he was not touching me at all if not necessary. Well, that was what I wanted anyway, but still, for some reason, it was kinda frustrating. 

It had been more than a month since I had come into this world, but it felt like, this was the home I felt the closest to. 

Every day, things were going as usual. I would go to the castle and Leandro would accompany me till the end of the forest. I would spend the day in the castle, cleaning and chatting with Jed. And then I would come back to the cave again. 

Leandro was cooking that night while I was sitting in front of the cave, picking some very tiny flowers that I found in the grasses. I was planning on throwing them on Leandro later.
