I'm so confused...

I was minding my own business the other day, playing my guitar far away from anyone, in the forest. When I saw Hedessa and Ben arrive. I said to myself they would simply pass and Ben wouldn't recognize me, but then I saw Galathea follow not to far behind.. my heart stopped and my hand froze.

When she saw me she smiled and said aah the woman in red, and then closer to me she winked so the others wouldn't see. And then she gave me a gentle hug. She even took my defense against Ben as he was his usual arse. But I didn't feel like arguing.. my days of arguing are over.. I just want a peaceful life.. with her. I don't care of the rest. The running around.. the fighting.. all of that.. has no meaning to me now. But all through that trip, she also reassured me that my voice would come back to me like before.

But I'm confused because, as much as she was closer to me than on that island.. as much she left me confused when we parted ways. I was looking at her, I'm sure she saw how confused I was, not knowing what she wanted, or what all of that meant. But all I had was a gentle smile and she dissipated into her invisibility before leaving.

But at least... I had the blessing of spending some time with her.. maybe there will be more.. I hope so.. maybe this is just a step.. I don't know.. I'm confused.
