Kodi smiled as he tucked the blanket closer, and watched for a moment as he sat staring at the fire. She finished her picture and put away her things, then scooted to sit beside him. The temperature was dropping in the house, and Kodi used it as an excuse to sit closer. She sat and watched the fire with him, occassionally stealing glances at his face. He was handsome in the firelight. His angular features made more prominent by the playing of the shadows across his face. His green eyes reflected the fire as though it came from withing. It was getting late, and Kodi yawned before leaning against him, nearly dozing off as she watched the fire. She started thinking about the fire, and spoke aloud without realizing.<br/><br/>"What is it about fires, that mesmerize a person so that they feel safe??" she asked with a small sigh. "Is it the way the flames dance?? Or maybe it's the colors." Kodi blushed and looked at the floor, leaning away from him. "Maybe it's just me. I like fires. Even campfires make me feel.....content with the world. I can sit and watch a fire for hours and not have a care in the world. Sometimes I light a fire in the summertime just to watch it dance." She continued to stare at the floor, obviously embarrassed, and fiddled with the hem of her sweater.
