Title: Let Loose Rating: PG Prompt: 7. no longer burdened by what’s left behind Summary: Sometimes leaving is the answer -- at least for a while.
“What?” Daja finally asked, as they remounted after lunch. As they talked that morning, Kirel had been shooting her glances: meaningful, slightly smug looks.
“Nothing,” he said, quickly.
“Why do you keep looking at me like that? Do you know something I don't?”
“No.” He considered. “Well, maybe. Daja, this is the first day you've been talking about what's ahead instead of what's behind.”
Daja thought about that for a moment. She hadn't noticed, but now that he mentioned it... with every mile forward, it grew easier to let go of everything that concerned her in Summersea, and everything that still bothered her about Namorn. This last didn't make sense, since Gold Ridge was actually closer to Namorn, but there it was. The beauty of being on the road.
“I think I needed to go.” She settled herself into the saddle, and looked forward down the road. Then she grinned. “Race you to that red barn?”

Kirel's observation is touching, I love the ending ;D.

I like the recognition that the miles are in the heart and in time, not in the distance. <3
