“I’m tired of this.” He said. “Let’s go.” And he began to move away from her.

“Where are we going?” She asked, moving to follow him.

He stopped, then turned around and smiled. Completely out of character, he winked. “It’s a secret.”
And for a moment, she was afraid.

She followed him outside. It was a truly beautiful day for a walk through the woods, and, they rarely had the chance to be together.

They finally stopped at a creek, and he crouched down next to the water. She began to do the same, watching his gaze.

He was so far away.

Still staring out over the water, he asked her, “Do you trust me?”

“Of course.” She said. She hesitated for a moment and whispered, “I-“

She felt his hand on her head, and felt her face in the water.

She came to, lying on the ground in his arms. His eyes were closed, and she moved to wake him. But, he was already awake. He brushed her hair away from her eyes.

She looked around. It looks so familiar, nothing seemed out of place, maybe she was just dizzy, disoriented…and she asked, “Where are we?”

And he smiled.

“Together.”
