I had just sat my mate down on her feet after having her ride the entire trip home on my lap. I was riding high with happiness from that alone. But I still had work to do, so I needed to let her go. Just before I slipped my arms away from her I whispered in a quiet voice, one I hoped was too quiet for her to notice.
"I love you."
Star didn't say anything in response to my whispered words so I was pretty confident that she hadn't heard me at all. But then I had to stand there and watch as my sister dragged her away like they couldn't get away from me fast enough.
But, there was something that had made my heart soar. Right before they disappeared into the house, Star turned around and waved at me so sweetly with a big smile on her face. That alone had my heart swelling so much that I thought it was going to make me explode.
