Rohan's blush brightened. Had she just kissed his cheek? He tried not to smile like an idiot as he glanced over at her, his head tilting slightly. "Why are you now hiding?," he asked, trying not to stammer.

She just shook her head, ducking farther back into her hood. She couldn't see his face, and heard the near-quaver in his voice, and begun to wish she hadn't done it in the first place.

Rohan frowned. Did she think he was mad at her? "Tessie?" He slowly sat up and turned to her, leaning in and reaching up to pull back her hood. "What's wrong? I'm not upset or anything...honest."

She looked up at him, eyes wide and a little frightened. Her cheeks were still bright, and she opened her mouth to say something, but nothing would come out. She sighed, softly, and closed it again, licking and chewing her bottom lip, pensively.

Rohan's heart twisted as he looked at her. She looked so innocent and cute. Would it hurt to kiss her? Tammy was long gone by now...so why not? He had to move on completely... He leaned in some but stopped short. "Would it be okay to...to kiss you?," he whispered.

She blushed brighter again, and her eyes widened more. She swallowed, heavily, shivering and murmuring, softly,
" . . . please."

With his heart pumping in his ears, Rohan slowly leaned it again, his lips first brushing Tessie's. It felt like an electric jolt to him. His hand moved from her hood to her cheek, resting there lightly as he deepened the kiss. He only hoped he was doing it right...

She shivered deeply, down to her bones, pleasantly and felt her cheeks redden again, hotter this time as she leaned into his lips again, lightly, tenderly, kissing him back.
'So this is what a real kiss feels like . . .'

Rohan felt the heat of her cheek against the palm of his hand. He knew she was blushing, just as he probably was. He sighed lightly against her lips before pulling back a little to look at her. So what did this mean? The start of a new relationship or an awkward friendship? "I hope your family won't be mad at me for doing that..."

She smiled, softly, slowly, sliding down off the log next to him.
"They aren't my family yet. And if they are mad over it, for some reason, then they never can be my family."

Rohan blushed slightly then tilted his head. "But...having a family is nice." He didn't bother to add that he didn't have one or at least not one that he knew of. "Would you really want to give that up?"

She frowned softly and looked up at him, head tilted in to rest on his side.
"I've had people around me who look out for me all my life. People who I live with and feed me, that sort of thing. That isn't a family. A family is something that likes you no matter what, loves you, no matter what baggage you have or who you love."
She sopped sharp on her last sentance adn blushed bright. She hadn't meant to say exactly that.

Rohan looked away for a moment then looked back with a soft smile. "But having those people to feed, cloth, and shelter you are better than having none at all. Maybe they aren't quite family...but having them is better than living alone and doing it all yourself." He took her hand and lightly kissed her fingers, noticing her blush return. He never had understood love, even with Tammy whom he thought he had. Would he be able to understand with Tessie?

She smiled softly and leaned against him, completely now, comfortalby.
"I suppose I'll neverknow, and I'm glad of it. But I used to think I'dtry it to get away from those wretched, horrid people."

"Well, I know Opheliah's really nice but I don't know her sister and brother that well. They'd take care of you." He nodded then smiled a little more. "And, if you need to, you could always come find me. I'd most likely be at the manor or gardens."
