Here's another one! Hope you enjoy it!
Obsession:
 
The world around her was… Marie couldn’t think of a word pretty enough, bright enough, soft enough, vivid enough to describe the green of the leaves in the early morning sunshine, the rough feel of the bark beneath her bare fingertips, or the pale blue color of the sky. The colors in all the myriad shades and hues with their varying depths and contrast were a feast for a girl that couldn’t even remember the feel of dirt beneath her toes.
 
To remind herself she dug her feet into it. She’d scrambled down off of Logan’s back as soon as he’d signaled that they were to stop. Her annoyance and anger at him for toting her around was completely forgotten when he finally, finally, let her explore the world again. She lifted her hands above her head, breathing deeply and twirling and spinning and happy.
 
“Logan!” She launched herself at him. A flying mass of dirty brown hair and bright happy eyes and long mostly bare limbs that she didn’t want to cover up ever again. He caught her easily. Gathering her close and whispering to her.
 
“Marie, sweetheart, we have to be quiet. The bad men will come if we’re not quiet.”
 
Even the mention of the Uglies couldn’t change her mood. Marie pushed up into his arms, her hands braced on his shoulders and his arms wrapped around her lower back. She stared at him, the sun glinting off his dark hair, how clear the green-brown of his eyes were. Her fingers traced his lips, along the line of his jaw, and across his cheek through his whiskers.
 
“You’re so beautiful…” She placed a quick on his forehead, nose, eyes, cheek bones, chin and finally his mouth. And she didn’t even stop the flying thing landed in their vicinity and belched out people.
