The wind blows past us, cool and refreshing, carrying the crisp scent of snow and open skies.
I press myself closer against Eris, wrapping my arms snugly around her waist, my head resting gently on her shoulder.
I close my eyes, content.
A small smile spreads across my lips.
This is nice.
There's nothing that beats soaring high through the sky, the world stretching endlessly below, while I hold onto my catgirl lover, feeling her warmth against me.
The mountaintop inches closer and closer, its snowy peak gleaming under the sunlight.
Inky could probably fly much faster, but I can tell—he's slowing down for my sake.
And I appreciate it.
Regardless, we'll be there soon.
And I can't wait to see Lake Vanessa.
But then—
A sudden realization hits me.
"Wait, Eris!" I blurt out. "The reason you made me walk earlier… was it to get away from people?!"
