His shadow – an observational piece

As you watch you see her there, small , meek and mild.blushing as he tells them of his latest endeavors to torment her. Her head is down as she allows her hair to cover her face, hiding her reaction as she stands just behind him.

As his arm moves up so does hers, offering the drink he was searching for in the air.

And then returns to her sides as he takes and holds it, shivering when it’s cold touch finds her breath, quivering as they laugh.

And yet she remains. Still she stands arms fixed to her sides, body firmly resolute in its position. Not flinching in or away.

The floors reflection shows her eyes transfixed on the glowing surface, never once darting away. And upon noticing this is the appearance of her only clue that she is not holding this naturally but fighting her will as her toes wriggle and roll and flex upon the floor in silence.

This is the first sighting of his shadow in the mist of this crowd being anything but her own. And with it shows her determination to remain unseen. Silently holding on to the knowledge this is for him.

And finally the reflection offers a truth to you, that no one elce notices as a shadow hasn’t been deemed as important as the one that casts it. A gleam, A glint of white through speckled moisture as it hits the ground shows just one final truth.

The small brief smile of one happy in her submission
