Chapter 3
We talked for a good thirty minutes. A simple but interesting conversation. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed the peculiar glances and strange stares we were receiving, but I didn't give it a second thought. I was enjoying myself and he was easy to talk to.
When I realized what time it was I had to force myself to say good-bye. He was unlike anyone I knew. He was caring and sweet. We sorted out the car incident, agreeing that he would call me with the details. So with quick "See ya later." and handshake. I was on my way home.

I was reluctant to let go of her hand and something told me she didn't want to leave either, but it was getting late.
As she drove away it dawned on me... she forgot to leave her number. I made my way to my car, glancing in the direction of the small almost unnoticeable scratch, not really caring about it. The only thing I really cared about was the fact that I might never see Horizon again.
I looked up one more time, hoping that she too realized she didn't leave a number and was returning to give it to me. Not seeing anything I sat my bags in my passenger seat and drove off.
**************************************************************
As I drove along I picked up on my stupidity, but I was already half way to my house. And didn't think he would still be there anyway. Deep down inside I figured he wouldn't have called if he had my number.
I put all of that aside when I pulled into the driveway. I knew it would need all my energy for this next step. I didn't get out at first, preparing myself for what lied ahead and simply soaking in the quietness that I knew would be stripped away as soon as I walked through the door.
