Chapter Four

Sitting in what miraculously was Faith's favorite restaurant the two had ordered and were discussing school.

"Yeah I never really talk too much in classes. I have to do well this year so I can't afford to have too many distractions." Faith said.

"I hope I am not one of them?" Danny said.

"Oh no, I didn't mean you. It's actually nice to have someone to talk to." Faith said blushing.

"Well that's what I'm here for." Danny said.

"If you don't mind, I'd rather not do a dinner and a movie thing. You can see a movie anytime, and you can't talk in the theatre." Danny said as they walked down the street after dinner.

Sometimes Faith wondered how he came up with such things. It was as if he was reading her mind at times. He felt the same way about a lot of things as she did. "That's okay with me. I agree with that." She said smiling. "So where are we going then?"

"Not telling." He said slyly. "It's a surprise."

"Not fair!" She said grinning, "You aren't supposed to know any surprise places in Boston yet!"

"Ah, but I do. You'll have to wait and see though." Danny said smiling.

As they walked on Danny suddenly stopped and said "okay I am gonna make you close your eyes. You have to trust me okay."

"What? Oh my God you are such a dork." She said playfully, but shut her eyes anyway.

He took her arm gently and led her forwards. They walked a little ways and then he stopped her.

"Okay now you can open them." He said softly in her ear.

She opened her eyes and gasped. They were sitting on the edge of the river with trees all around and the moon was rising right in front of them.

"Oh my God this place is beautiful! How did you ever find it?" Faith asked.

"I got bored one night and sorta stumbled on it by mistake." Danny said smiling.

"It's so beautiful." She said again quietly.

"Well so are you." He said smiling.

Without even thinking about it Faith turned her eyes towards Danny and walked close to him so that they were only a few inches apart. She put her arms around his waist and kissed him. With their eyes closed and their lips locked into a passionate kiss the world seemed to melt away around them.

When they finally pulled away Faith almost fell as she felt her knees go weak. He smiled at her and put his jacket around her shaky shoulders.

They then sat on the grass embankment in each other's arms and watched the moon rise over the sparkling water.

That night Faith didn't have a care in the world. Her brother was safe, her mom was away and she was happy. Truly happy for once in her life.
