“Shane! Did you not hear name called upon, “Tara says as she departed the few remaining branches that blocked her path.

“Apologies, “she says nervously while quickly turning around, “I-I was lost in my thoughts.”

“We are to set to continue onward with our journey, “Tara continues ignoring her response but realizes her friends response seemed rather strange, “Apologies?”

“Yes.”

“Apologies!?”

“Yes.”

“APOLOGIES!”

“Yes, apologies…apologies…fucking apologies Tara, “she yells in an agitated tone, “Did your ears fail to hear my words!?” Gazing upon the current disposition of her friend Tara could do nothing more than laugh.

“Does my anger amuse you?”

“Yes, yes it does as it holds no meaning, “she says still laughing in between words.

“Eat shit, “she says as she begins to walk pass her but before she could Tara reaches out using her arm as a barrier preventing her from passing.

“Remove yourself.”

“I will not, “she says still smiling.

“What do you find so amusing!?”

“Your apology…….I know you very well dear friend even acknowledge you as sister, since the day we crossed paths I’ve never heard word spill from tongue.”

“I speak the word when needed.”

“You do not as my memory serves me correctly you are never wrong, now I stand curious as to what would provoke my sister to speak in foolish tongue?”

“As I stated earlier I seek only to be alone with my thoughts.” As soon as her words left her mouth a playful cry and the splashing of water filled the air. Still staring at her Taras smile widens. Now walking passed her she walks in the direction of the playful cry stopping at the edge of the cliff she looks down. When she turned back around it was Shane who was smiling this time and walked towards her.

“I understand now why one would want to be alone with their thoughts, I would do the same as long as I could gaze upon Carmen as she bathed.” Grabbing her arm pulling her from the ledge, she couldn’t allow Tara to glance a moment longer.

“Tsk, Tsk, Shane you naughty….naughty little girl, “she says playfully teasing her.

“It is not as it appears!”

“Smile and blush upon check suggest otherwise.”
