"Actually.. it really has nothing to do with where I'm from," Delphinia explained, picking apart a blade of grass. Her green eyes slowly lifted, finding Nathan's. "It's more to do with my mom.." She trailed off.

The blade of grass was forgotten as Nathan grabbed her hands, giving her a squeeze that said so many words, without saying anything at all.

She didn't talk about her parents much.

"It was special to mom. She saved her first kiss for the man she would fall in love with.. my father. So, it is special to me."
