Emma walked along the streets, lonely and feeling abandoned. She loved Tancred with all of her heart but she didn't know if he loved her. A tear rolled down her cheek. Tancred was walking towards her and she didn't notice him. He bumped into her and looked down. "Emma, why are you crying?" She looked up at him with her tearstained face. "Nothing," she said quickly and looked away. His hand took her face gently into it and lifted her face up. "Crying about something is not a 'nothing'," he said looking at her with shocking blue eyes. They both didn't notice it but a light breeze had started up around them as they stood on the square. "I LOVE YOU, TANCRED TORSSON!" She looked away from him and started sobbing. Tancred started to chuckle. By now Emma was kneeling on the ground with her hands in her face. Laughing? Why is he laughing? She thought. He squatted down on the ground next to her and pulled her to his chest. "I guess it's a good thing that I love you too, Emma Tolly." He whispered in her ear. "Wha-what?" She stammered. She looked up at him instead of at the ground and saw his blue eyes looking at her with such compassion it made her tingle all over. She buried her head into his chest and just sat there with him. Suddenly, he pushed her face up lightly with his long fingers and reached down and lightly kissed her lips. It was a wonderful sensation; it was like fireworks were dancing everywhere. He leaned in a little further to deepen the kiss and she reached upwards. Her arms clung around his neck and he put his arms around her waist. Together they stood up and finding a wall he put her back to it. He pulled away from her and they stopped to catch their breath. He put one hand on the wall and put the other around her waist. "Tancred? Tell me you love me and then I'll believe you." She looked up at him with such a pleading in her eyes that he couldn't resist her. He looked away for a second and rubbed at his face with his hand that had been around her waist. He looked back at her, stopped rubbing at his face and slowly put his hand around her waist again. "I love you, I love you, I love you." He continually said as he planted kisses down from her forehead to her neck and she sighed in pleasure. "I have to go." He whispered in her ear. "Do you really?" She asked pleadingly. "Yes. But I promise I will give you my love at break tomorrow at school." He promised to her. "Ok." She let him leave and continued to walk back to her own house.
