Summary
Mipha didn't know when things had changed for her. She didn't know how quickly it had happened.
But she found herself eagerly waiting for every one of Link's visits and watching him leave until he was far out of sight, and something about the soft space he had always occupied in her life had very clearly, very substantially, shifted.
At first, she could push the feeling aside. Delude herself into misreading it. She hadn't seen him in three years, give or take; of course she was excited to see him on a semi-regular basis again. He'd saved her little brother from the most dangerous beast she'd ever seen; was it not natural for her to pour out every ounce of gratitude she could for him?
But it wasn't very long before she had to face the facts. Gratitude wouldn't leave her flustered and steal her words from her every time she met his gaze. It wouldn't leave her overwhelmingly aware of precisely where he was at all times whenever he visited the Domain. And it wouldn't leave her quietly mourning the loss of the bright smile she'd always used to associate with him, wondering if and when he'd ever look at her with more than the barest trace of it again.
