ITMOY Chapter 2 - sneak peek (part 2)

23:50pm

Amaris dragged him by the hand this time as they hurried across an arch bridge and stopped half way through. She panted heavily, condensing with each breath with her hands on her knees. Meanwhile Damien�"who carried her bag and flowers�"looks as though the running they did was an evening stroll�"despite the fact they have just been through the whole damn town.

He stood behind her as he waited. “Slow down your breathing. It will hurt your lungs in this weather."

With one last breath she stood back up and hastily looked around. The bridge crosses a river and the city lights on either ends are far enough that it's dim here. This bridge is nearly abandoned, leaving the two alone with the half moon shining behind the clouds. “Is this place to your liking or do we have to do another lap?"

“Nope, this is perfect!" She did a little hop before taking his hand once more and dragged him further down the bridge.

“You didn't finish your dinner but you finished your desert and MINE." He shook his head in disbelief. “No wonder you're so full of energy now."

“There's always room for sweets!" She pointed a finger up in a matter-of-fact-manner.

He glanced down to their hands, “I don't think that's something to be proud of."

“You weren't going to eat it all anyway."

“I didn't think they would server that much per dish.." He slowly let his hand slipped out of hers.
