SUNRISE PART 3Tara was off balance when she pulled away so quickly, and she started to fall. Willow rushed forward, and grabbed the blonde woman before she fell completely.
The redhead cradled Tara in her arms. “Are you okay?” She asked as she brushed blonde locks away from blue eyes.
Tara was looking into the green depths of Willow’s eyes in a mixture of wonder and embarrassment. “Yeah,” she breathed.
Willow smiled genuinely, and whispered, “Good.”
That seemed to bring Tara back down to Earth, and she looked away from Willow. “I-I’m sorry f-for being so c-clumsy.” She pulled herself out of Willow’s arms, albeit reluctantly, and tried to stand up.
Willow scrambled up, and reached to help Tara. “Why are you sorry, it’s alright. You didn’t do anything wrong.” The redhead took Tara by the hand pulled her up. Once Tara was standing, Willow didn’t relinquish the hand.
They both looked at the clenched hands and Willow slowly let go. Her hand moved to the hem of her skirt, where she played idly with a loose string.
“I’m s-sorry. I have to go. Thank you for c-catching me.” Tara ran off.
Willow was shocked. “Wait! Don’t you want to watch the sunrise?” Tara didn’t hear Willow yell after her, though, and Willow sighed sadly. She turned back to the railing and it was then she realized that they had already missed the sunrise. The red morning sun shone just above the water on the horizon.
So much for that, Willow thought morosely.
Like she could ever like you.End Part 3
