~Watching By Michelle

 

I could watch her for hours. Watch her step out of the gate, purposeful and curious. Watch her smile. Watch her in action, kicking and fighting. I'll never get tired of watching her. I'm watching her now, bent over the microscope, talking to Daniel. I don't know what the hell they're talking about, I only know that she's excited. She's glowing. I think she's forgotten I'm here, but that's okay, because it means I can watch her without her knowing. I don't want her to know I do it.

She turns to me. "You okay Jack?"

I nod, and watch.
