It took a long time for Heidi to answer Tracey's question. Mostly because she didn't know the answer herself. What was she doing? She ran a hand through her hair. "Because I'm a foolish, naive, optimist who wears her heart on her sleeve. And as much as I try and as much as I know I should, I can't seem to forget about you."
Turning her head, she looked to Tracey, "why are you stepping on the road?" she asked.
"I don't know what I expected." Heidi said truthfully as she returned to watching the telly, which now showed the coyote on a rocket, flying into the edge of a cliff. Exactly how she felt. "What did you expect?"
Heidi didn't know what she was hoping for. She didn't want to go down the same road and be a secret again. She couldn't do that and Tracey looked like she wasn't willing to be out anytime soon. So where did that leave them?
