Ch. 5: A Warm Right Hand (SUN)

 

I held onto Sky’s hand as we continued to walk through the crowded town.

 

Leaving behind the shop, we lost ourselves in the flow of people.

 

Sky: "Hey OO…you tired? You OK?"

 

OO: "Yeah, I’m fine."

 

Sky: "Sorry ‘bout makin’ you walk like this. But if we can disappear into the crowd, the car shouldn’t be able to follow."

 

OO: "Really, I’m fine. It’s my fault for having been careless before."

 

Sky: "Nah…I’ve gotta take some of the blame too…I had just wanted to take you out."

 

OO: "Thanks Sky, I’m alright."

In the distance, I heard the rev of an engine.

Sky’s only been worrying about me. Even though I brought this on myself…

 

His right hand was warm as I held it.

 

That warmth caused a pain in my chest.
