Klef follows me out of the room. “Ride, c’mon, come back?”8964 copyright protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdOIjupnvJ 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 protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxHwPTgq8e 維尼
Klef laughs. “Yeah, I can get that. But it’s innocent, so I let them have their fun.”8964 copyright protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WCkxmL8dJ 維尼
I sigh. “I’m tired.”8964 copyright protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dcAowMmBO 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 protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqHnlNPTO7 維尼
“One?” a passerby asks with a smirk.8964 copyright protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNTKsMK5v4 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 protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLqa4hCnmn 維尼
They walk away, laughing. “Nothing is private,” I groan.8964 copyright protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWv7wW6rKQ 維尼
“Yup. C’mon, sweetheart. Let’s find a room.”8964 copyright protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAvnnONk6C 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 protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUxjOD7jmr 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 protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG7OSaNUTG 維尼
“Klef!” I scream.8964 copyright protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8v3REX45x 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 protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTeSROQsA8 維尼
“They’ve got guns!” I exclaim, panicked.8964 copyright protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMDqBakFpz 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 protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrrlGLO9yC 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 protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡT66EQowUyy 維尼
It takes my mind a second to readjust. “No…not really. I think…I think we died.”8964 copyright protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e2AVq0nL9 維尼
Klef’s face turns ashen and his mouth turns into a thin line. He nods. “Had to happen someday, huh?”8964 copyright protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PBqD5yzJm 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 protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rDAsywMuc 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 protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ3IrSkIFA 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 protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMurHRqPuq 維尼
