Love is in the air....and water.....and now your body....

Tess smiled but still felt like half of her was somewhere else. She felt like she had just discovered something great, found it fake, learned it was part truth but she shouldn't think of it. But alas that was life. And as beugn the responsible sibling in her family, she was used to such things.

"Yeah, that's what's easiest." She wanted to say that she wouldn't have taken multiple steps anyway but she brushed it out of her mind. Her Mother always said to her "Tess, if you have something that you think is important to say, it is best to save if for when you most need rather that waste it in the thrill of the moment." Suddenly Alessandra felt an overwhelming need to return to her dormitory and email her family particularly her Mom.

"I think I need to go back now. I can walk alone though, don't worry about it." She relished the silence she would find in her way back. It would give her time to think.

Tess gave an unnoticed half hearted smile and started off toward the path back to the school. She had a ways to go. She could always get there faster if she shifted. Yes.. A wolf would suffice in this environment. After shifting she gave a satisfactory howl and took off. She moved quickly and nimbly across the forest floor.

Love sure does mess things up. It makes its way somewhere it isn't wanted and then all the problems start. Alessandra was sure she'd have trouble ssleeping tonight. She just hoped she didn't have any strange dreams.
