She had ended up making a wide circle. Now she was upstream from their cave and sitting on a rock overlooking the swollen creek. Hugging her knees to her chest, she slowly felt her heart rate slow down. It gave her room to think a bit more clearly. She understood he had just wanted her happiness. Some idiot part of him seemed to still want her happiness. What was it about the guy that after all this time allowed him to even have positive thoughts towards her? Resting her forehead on her arms, she sat there listening and feeling the rain around her. How could she go back? It was like admitting defeat or something. Her stubborn self didn't want to deal with the emotional part of seeing him again. Maybe it was shame? Uncertainty? She didn't know.
