“Sorry? You don’t seem sorry,” Tracey teased lightly. She smiled as Heidi walked over to her. Despite a hint of nervousness she still felt about being open, she didn’t shy away from her embrace or the kiss that followed.
Staying in her arms, she regarded her girlfriend with wry amusement and tried to push thoughts out of her head that this might be the last time she could think of her that way. Even the flittering thought that broke through made her heart ache.
Reaching up, she squished Heidi’s cheeks in one hand. “Is that kind of talk any example for the rest of the team, Captain?” she mocked her playfully, despite it appearing they were totally alone.
“I came to see you,” she announced simply. “Though, in hindsight, it was a pretty bad idea. It is freezing outside and it does…smell in here a bit.” Tracey chuckled. “But…” She grew nervous and it showed. “…I need to tell you something.”
Tracey sighed as she tried to steal herself. “I did something…totally daft the other night.” Tracey’s head tilted a little in shame. “I likely almost got myself expelled too with a possible visit from an Auror if Gabrielle Delacour didn’t save me, but that is another story.”
She looked at Heidi, trying to gauge her reaction so far.
