If one thing was correct, it was that Tintin had come on in leaps and bounds recently. He had shown that despite being disabled he could still get on with life.

He powered himself along the pavement; feeling dead chuffed about his progress and nearly bumped into a familiar face. She quickly jumped out of the way and as soon as his eyes gazed upon her, he knew exactly who she was.

"Hello Tintin!" she exclaimed, happy to see him.

"Adria! I haven't seen you in a while" Tintin said, feeling his heart beat faster as a result. Adria noticed this and smiled as he blushed and interesting shade of pink.

"I've been visiting family in Argentina"

Adria was a beautiful young woman. She had long, wavy black hair that reached right down to her waist but her eyes where a luscious shade of brown that would dazzle anyone who looked into them and this was almost certainly doing this to Tintin. Her smile was like lightening and Tintin adored the way she smiled, he always had.

"So, how are you doing?" she asked, politely squatting down so she could talk to him at eye level.

"I'm getting there but … to be quite honest I'm feeling a lot better than I did before"

"That's good to hear. And I bet I've just brightened your day up!" she said smiling again.

"You always brighten up my day"

The words had just slipped out and he began to get embarrassed however Adria didn't seem to mind, actually her smile broadened further and her cheeks grew pink. She fluttered her eyelids.

"Thank you" she replied feeling exceptionally flattered. "Would you like to join me for a walk near the riverside?" she politely asked. Tintin couldn't really decline as her eyes were just to gorgeous to ignore.

"Sure"

The riverside was one of the most beautiful places in Marlinspike, especially at this time of year. A variety of colours played host to the wonderful abundance of flowers and tree's that rambled through the area. The river was shallow so you could see the rocks lining the base of the river creating the illusion of a bridge of stones sticking out of the water. Crystal clear the water was too making the reflections perfectly symmetrical to the images that were creating them.

Halfway along Adria was sitting down upon a wooden beach and Tintin was parked next to her, and they just gazed and gazed at the beauty that nature was offering before them.

"It's perfect here. I couldn't say the same for me"

"Tintin! Don't say that! You're perfect in every way possible"

Tintin abruptly stopped looking at the river and looked straight at her wondering what he should say next.

"In what way?"

"Every way. Your funny, clever, handsome and…"

"You think I'm …. Handsome?" Tintin interjected with a slight smile engraved upon his mouth.

"You are handsome, to me you are"

"No one's ever told me that before" he said gently. For the first time in his life he had never felt so complimented with a fact like that before. Adria saw the happiness reignite into his eyes and she moved closer to him. After seeing the lovely happy expression on his face she wanted to try something to try and let him aware of what she felt for him.

"How would you describe me Tintin?" she asked cheekily, with a flirtatious edge to her voice. Tintin heard that in her voice and took note of it upon seeing her facial expressions.

"Adria you are the most loveliest person I have ever met and you're funny, intelligent, an excellent teacher, Plein de vie and well you are also a beautiful young woman"

"You think so, you think I'm pretty?"

"Yes…. Yes I do"

She gazed into his eyes and became lost in them wondering if he felt the same way she felt for him. She reached out her hand cautiously, and neared Tintin's hand and despite her worries he let her hand grip into his and he ran his thumb gently over her hand.

But their solitude was interrupted when Tintin's phone vibrated in his chest pocket causing Adria to mutter under her breath.

"Why is it whenever I want peace I can never get it" she complained.

"It's the Captain. It's the wedding rehearsal and he'd like me to be there. You know you're welcome to come with me if you want" he said nervously.

"Are you sure Tintin? I mean I wouldn't want to get in your way"

"It's okay you won't plus I'm sure the Captain will not mind"

Adria thought about doing something before but she had refrained but now felt like the ideal time to do it. Mustering up the courage to do so she leant over and kissed Tintin's cheek. Tintin allowed her to do so and he couldn't help but feel like he'd been hit with cupids arrow. She felt even more confident when he did not resist, he let her take him and despite it lasting about seven seconds, it felt like an eternity to Tintin. As she pulled away he could still feel the warm sensation of her lips against his cheek and he realised that maybe just maybe he had a chance for love. She was the only woman that made him feel like this and with the Captains wedding coming within a week the urge to tell her how he felt was even greater.

"Tintin erm do you had any plans for Wednesday night?" she asked nervously.

"No.. Nothing…. Why?"

Tintin knew what was coming next.

" I was wondering …. If ….erm … you would like to join me for a drink?"

Tintin was amazed by what was unfolding in front of him. She was asking him out on a date!

"Of course, I would love to join you" Tintin relpied with the biggest smile on his face. "Where?"

"The Black Keys Inn if that's okay. About 8:30 outside"

"Sure… can't wait" she said joyously with content.

One thing was for sure, Tintin could wait for Wednesday night!
