Alex felt uneasy as she and Birdy shared a ride back to their apartment from the airport. The trip had been a total success, everyone had gotten along well and Vero had approved of Birdy - not to mention that she and Birdy's relationship had slightly changed.
After their intimate morning together, Birdy and Alex hadn't spoken about it at all. They had cuddled up every night after that but nothing more. Neither of them had tried to initiate the conversation or do anything more than a friendly hug. It hadn't bothered Alex at first but she couldn't deny that she had started to feel Birdy pull away.
It was nothing that she could put a finger on exactly but she felt as if the other woman was being slightly distant. She wasn't sure why but she could guess that it probably had something to do with whatever was going on between them.
