Klef follows me out of the room. “Ride, c’mon, come back?”8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDwD0HT6hK 維尼
I turn to him and smile. “I’m not really that mad, just riling them up. I’m tired of being shipped. It’s weird and makes me feel uncomfortable.”8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTvRzuwev3 維尼
Klef laughs. “Yeah, I can get that. But it’s innocent, so I let them have their fun.”8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVaUPoV4I8 維尼
I sigh. “I’m tired.”8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡycCuXvWD2K 維尼
“Well, I suppose it is getting to be an acceptable time to fall asleep, and you’ve had quite the day,” Klef reasons, nodding. “Let’s find a room.”8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4QfCBqTsT 維尼
“One?” a passerby asks with a smirk.8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsXHC64Btp 維尼
Klef blushes at the implication. I sigh. “Yes, one room! Singular! What’s so wrong with two people of the opposite sex sharing a bed?!”8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRiJ4CoNUn 維尼
They walk away, laughing. “Nothing is private,” I groan.8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxRLYOfrsn 維尼
“Yup. C’mon, sweetheart. Let’s find a room.”8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmB9log5wj 維尼
We wander around helplessly lost until Flo finds us and leads us to a room with a bed big enough to fit 2, a floor lamp, and an ensuite bathroom, but nothing else. Klef jumps onto the bed, and I close the door and flop down next to him. He pulls me in for a playful hug and I sigh and accept it. I’m just so tired…8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXHjFEBYFf 維尼
Fire. It’s all around me. It’s what I’m almost breathing in and what I’m choking on. I hear someone yell, “Shelter! We have to get to shelter!”8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnmgO92ndK 維尼
“Klef!” I scream.8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbmpUUuIMo 維尼
Coughs erupt 3 feet away from me. I reach out and grab a hand. Klef’s hand. He squeezes it, and we struggle out of the immediate fire. BANG!8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvSxuTdSEH 維尼
“They’ve got guns!” I exclaim, panicked.8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTUi0kuOFC 維尼
No way out this time. I look at Klef and he looks at me. There’s desperation in his eyes, and I have no doubt it’s in mine as well. And in what feels to be our final moments together…we kiss.8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHUIIJYxh8 維尼
I bolt upright, as is now habit during my bad dreams. Klef pulls me back down onto the bed with care. “Ride, are you okay?!”8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzkJchE8Wy 維尼
It takes my mind a second to readjust. “No…not really. I think…I think we died.”8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY9vyG3Ic3 維尼
Klef’s face turns ashen and his mouth turns into a thin line. He nods. “Had to happen someday, huh?”8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtej49uxas 維尼
I look over him, before kissing him on the lips, as if he is made of glass. He kisses back after a second, before pulling away. “What was that for?” he asks in a whisper.8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkcqleKv4Y 維尼
“Just in case I don’t get to do it again,” I murmur, wrapping myself into his side just in front of his wings.8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8RbYLyTFR 維尼
He hugs me close and I sigh, for once feeling relieved at the thought of having a warm body next to me. We both sleep the rest of the night.8964 copyright protection506ＰＥＮＡＮＡViYyKZ72ij 維尼
