Callum.
The rest of the train ride was very quiet. Lots of people had stopped staring about ten minutes ago, but there were still some that were shooting nervous glances at me. I didn't belong here, and I probably won't relax the stiff position I was currently upholding until we got off the train.
When eventually the train stops I grab Sephy's hand and half drag her off the train, trying to escape as quickly as possible. Once we were on the platform I slowed down a bit but still gripped tightly onto Sephy's hand.
'Callum, I think the circulation has been cut off in my fingers.'
I then realized just how tight I had been holding on. 'Oops, sorry.' I dropped her hand quickly.
'You don't have to let go y'know, just a little bit looser,' she says, taking my hand in her warm one. I smiled over at her and slid the backpack off her and put it on myself.
We carried on down a winding path, until we came to a large patch of trees. I led the way in searching for the perfect area for our picnic. I came across an enclosed area, there were trees circling a small clearing and a soft beam of sunshine shone through the hole in the leafy rooftop. It was meant to be ours.
I took off the backpack and laid it carefully on the ground. It was really heavy, I just hope that Sephy's maid wouldn't notice this much food was gone. I was starting to worry if she would get into any trouble, and that maybe this was a bad idea. But we were here now, and I decided I wouldn't waste our day by worrying.
While I was so busy fretting, Sephy had already set out the blanket and the food, and there was a whole feast there. We had mini sausage rolls, cakes, fruit and, of course, orange juice. Lots and lots of orange juice. I love Sephy so much!
She was already sitting down and she patted the spot next to her, smiling up at me. I sat down and just closed my eyes, treasuring the moment for later. I opened my eyes to see Sephy staring at me curiously.
'What?'
Sephy smiled. 'I haven't seen you this happy in ages. It makes me happy.'
I grinned back at her. 'Well, are we gonna eat or not?'
'Well no, I just set it out to look at...'
I was already eating by the time Sephy was mid-sentence. I had launched myself at the sausage rolls. I only ever had them when I was little and mum was still working in the Hadley household. Sephy had given me one to try, and I fell in love with them.
Sephy just laughed at me. She helped herself to a sausage roll and lied back, nibbling at the pastry. I took another and lied back next to her, staring up into the sky absent-mindedly. I couldn't help but feel like this would be the one perfect moment in my life I'd been waiting so long for. I had always known my perfect moment would be with Sephy, and here it was.
