Chapter 18

Megan lay in Adam’s arms, He was gently stroking her hair, everything around them seemed so calm, so serene, so perfect.

“What are we going to tell him?” Megan asked, breaking the quietness.

“I dunno,” Adam whispered, “But I know I want to be with you. I want to be like this, be able to hold you in my arms and not worry about anything.

Megan snuggled against him more and let out a deep sigh. She knew what Adam meant; everything was so wonderful in that moment.

A few moments later she heard Adam’s deep breaths. He had fallen asleep. Megan cuddled into his arms and shut her eyes. For once she wasn’t afraid that Jay would find them, for once she wasn’t scared of anything, she was safe, safe and full of love.

“I love you,” she whispered through the darkness, not expecting a reply from the sleeping Adam.

She was suddenly pulled closer in to him as he spoke, “I love you too Meg.”
