"Still thinking about that day in Diagon Alley, huh?" She sat up, wiping the remaining wet tracks off her cheeks. Folding her arm across her chest, she rested the other in her hair. Marilyn's mood had improved slightly just being in Rafe presence. "Im am curious, though...What made you stop jogging to speak to me? It was so random of you..." She gave him a small smile, sighing pleasantly when he kissed the side of her mouth. And it only faltered slightly when he mentioned returning to the party.
"I don't know if I want to go back out there...I'm...a little nervous." What if she ran into Carter again and got angry again? Marilyn knew she shouldn't have curse Carter behind his back...but she wasn't sorry, either. Being a jerk to her really deserved a lot worse. "Will you stay close to me?"
"Well, that day was one of the best days of my life, how could I forget?" Rafe could remember almost every detail. She was absolutely beautiful that day.
"Hmm... I don't really know, I mean it's not every day you come across a beautiful girl." Rafe could still picture the sun reflecting off her golden hair, she was absolutely radiant.
"I honestly didn't think you would speak to me, but it was all a matter of taking a chance. I had a feeling you might be a first year too...it's all about building new friendships." Rafe grinned. How much things could be so simple like this in life.
"You have nothing to be nervous about, love," Rafe said and he held her a little closer.
"I will always stay close by, whenever you need me." Rafe knew it would be awkward to go back and face anymore confrontation, but some things couldn't be avoided and would just have to be faced eventually.
