Yestarday's Child- Prologue
My eyes move switftly, nervously, watching every little matter in that room. I was sitting,
yes, that's what I was doing. I've been waiting, waiting for 10 long minutes. He went to get
confirmation. I didn't know when we would be going, but it would be soon. My tension began
to build up as I twiddled my thumbs cautiously. Another ten minutes gone; where are you?
I slowly lifted my body, raising onto my feet, then began the pacing. I couldn't stop, I was
too nervous to stop. Where ARE you? You said you'd only take a minute. I protested internally,
as there would be internal controversy, as well. After a minute, or so, I decided to calm myself
down. My loud sigh could be heard by the people in the room, if only there were people, however.
I fell back onto the chair, feeling it's softness cushin me. Bringing my elbows to my knees,
and my chin to my palms, I leaned against them, as if in an unsettled manner.
The door clinked open, and my face met his smile. Shaking my head nervously, I jumped up, and
paced to him, and now my smile would meet his gaze. He nodded at me, and I felt over joyed!
Hugging him tightly, he wrapped his arms around me, then pulled me back a little. Caught a
small bit by shock, I looked up to him, and then he nodded again. Understanding this, I nodded
back, then looked at the door, preparing to exit. I was a bit frightened by this exitting, but
I knew with him by my side, I could do it. This man, sensing my fright, as my expression
clearly showed it, slowly took his hand in to mine.
With no time, a smile passed my lips, as I opened my eyes. He looked at me, slowly pushing his
arm out in front of me, directly sybmoling ladies first. However, I am not so brave, so I didn't
take the action. Understand it automatically, he went first, put kept my hand in his, and gently
pulled me, as I forced my way towards the door. I hulted, not moving a bit, and so he stepped
back into the room with me. With one last gaze of anticipation, I took a deep breath, closed my
eyes, and together, hand in hand, we walked out.
