"Yes, it is a promise."
Regina agreed without much thinking - without even considering the possibility of being punished if her blood purist parents ever found out she had taken interest in a Muggle - and reached out to take Faye's out-stretched hand in her own, slowly but securely. She'd never been comfortable with physical touches coming from others, in fact she always flinched away as though they were going to harm her. That sort of reaction warranted enough alarming attention to the physical contact she might have been exposed too, but Regina had never allowed anybody to even doubt by isolating herself from touchy-feely people. If they didn't see, they couldn't assume. But Faye was different. Regina trusted her immensely, even if it had taken so many months for her to get to that point.
She didn't trust people easily. There was always a nagging fear there, that pulling down her defenses was going to - yet again - bring irreparable emotional damage. Though, she'd learnt a lot from these six months of her second year. She'd grown just a bit less jaded, and she wanted for once to follow what her heart yearned for. Right now, it yearned for the affection she rarely ever received.
As her full plump lips stretched into a rare genuine smile, Regina's orchid eyes shone lovingly as she stared into Faye's hazel brown hues with the unspoken words hanging in the air. Of what their relationship was evolving into. It was strange, it was new, it went against everything she'd been taught from Pureblood culture and it was nothing the Gryffindor would have expected. She could feel this big step slowly changing her into a new person. It was a beautiful thought.
She hoped it was a change for the better.
