A slight smile graced May’s smooth face, and he nodded. Valentina got the vibe that he found it pleasant to converse with her-she felt the same way. Her smile was a bit larger than his, white teeth peeking out from behind full lips in a very friendly way. However, despite the friendliness, he took a small step back when she hovered closer to him, scoffing distrustfully. Valentina’s eyes widened, and for a moment, she looked a bit hurt. Did he think she was annoying? Perhaps she was being a little too pushy a little too soon. Shoulders slouching, she too, stepped back a bit. At least he responded. “Ohhh I see!” She tried to keep some pep in her voice after May explained colleagues meant his ‘friends from other kingdoms’. She supposed she had plenty of those as well. She grinned. Life is but a joke. What a marvelous saying! “I guess I shouldn’t be entertaining it either, but I can’t help it.” Valentina admitted. “I just can’t picture Wonderland being called anything else.” Of course, her mind was soon pulled away from that topic and towards the strange smirk May had on his face. Did he think she was silly? Was she too excited?
He nodded at her comments. Perhaps Valentina was a bit predictable, preferring romance above all things in all things-movies, books, in the world around her. She was her father’s daughter, and she wasn’t ashamed about it in the least. She had at least ten romance books stacked up on her desk. May opened his mouth. Was he going to share? Or was he going to refuse her, leaving her in the dark? Valentina tensed up at the thought. “I fell in love with-” Valentina’s brown eyes grew wider at every word May spoke. “-a book.” Her disappointment was not visible-it could not be, or he might stop talking to her altogether. “Such a romance I could be as I wrote every single feeling I had. Night and day.” He laughed-though it had the same tone as the scoff earlier. “Of course, I’m only kidding.” Valentina let out a silent exhale. Did this mean there was a different, more personal love story to be told? “That was beautiful.” She breathed, and it was. He spoke so poetically, and even though he had been joking, his tales reminded her of a love story. “I agree love is not lost.” Valentina said determinedly. “Tragedy? Do you feel you’ll never have that same love?” She asked more questions, eyes wide at how interesting this all was.
“You do?” He questioned. Valentina assumed this meant he was asking whether she really wanted to ‘dwell’ to his tragic love story-which she definitely did, with all of her pounding heart. “Spare me the tragedies, we came here to talk about sunlight, not the dawn of evening where the monsters thrive in. If you can, I might be able to tell you a little tidbit of my love. Love that is conditional, of course.” He really was a poet. “Have you ever written anything of your own?” Valentina mused, asking a question that was not really related to romance. “And of course I can.” She smiled warmly at the boy. She supposed she should go first. She was an open book, especially when it came to love. “Where should I begin? Maybe with my most recent love, yeah! I’ll start with that.” She smiled while she said this. Though her cheeks were pink, she did not show any signs of being embarrassed. “Last year, I met this amazing girl. She was so kindhearted, funny, sweet. She was my best friend.” The smile faded. “Of course, she didn’t feel the same way, but I’m glad I got to know her. I guess if we’re talking weather, she was like the sun. Always bright, cheerful, and there.” The smile was again a wistful one. None of these crushes ever seemed to go anywhere. And while she loved the memories she was left with, sometimes, she wished for more-for someone she could make memories with forever. Someone she wouldn’t remember by only memories.
