Phoenix
It had been one week, and I was still crashing in this tiny hut with Kiki. She was a lively woman, super fun to be around.
I stepped outside, squinting against the sun. Kiki must be in the little garden that was right behind the hut.
I walked around the hut and found her crouched low with her sleeves rolled up, digging around a patch of tiny green plants.
Her hands were covered in dirt, and a little smudge was there on her cheek, too.
Cute!
"Hey," I called out softly, walking over.
She looked up, and a smile broke on her lips when she saw me, "Hey, sleeping beauty. I was just getting some wild mint. Wanna help?"
With a small smile, I sat on a flat rock nearby, "Nah, I'd prefer watching you doing it."
"Brat!" She threw some mud at me and got busy with her work.
This was such a good place. I was almost considering living here.
