A Little Less Distance

“Distance makes the heart grow fonder, as they say,” she said after a minute.“Does it?”“That’s what they say.” Her attention was drawn to her hands resting over her belly and he felt her shoulder bump his arm as she shrugged.“And has it?”“Has what?”“Your heart. Has it grown fonder?”

Hello and welcome! This story has lived in my head for a few years as different scenes. I wanted to write the scenes I pictured and once I did that, I realized I could probably smoosh them together to create a story. Well... easier said than done. It's messy, it's imperfect, but I had so much fun putting my imagination on paper. This short fic truly allowed me explore some of my favorite tropes and I am proud of myself for finally getting it out in the world. With that being said, it is very much character driven. Maybe squint while you're reading so you don't focus too much on the plot.Thank you for being here and please, enjoy the fruit of my self indulgence!Thank you, thank you, thank you to Photon0Infinity for your beta work, friendship, and unwavering patience. I adore you.
