The next day Edward didn't get to spend the day with Leah because they had a show to do. The couple had agreed to meet the others at lunch in case Sam wondered where she was and went looking for her. It wouldn't do them any good to get caught. Besides, they had agreed to meet up later after the show when Sam was sure to be asleep. The thought of being together tonight was what kept both of them sane during the long hours when people would do nothing other than stare at them because they were deemed different for the so called 'normal' people of today's society. Sometimes there stares became too much and the best way to deal with it was by focusing on something else and so this is what the pair did. They decided to focus on thoughts of each other.

Edward was having a particularly hard day because he had to deal with hearing the thoughts of everyone around him. Usually he had no problem dealing with whatever he heard from someone's mind, but today it was near impossible to do so. He had tried his best to block the thoughts out and yet it did not seem to be working. All he could do was hear and it was giving him a headache to be honest. Everyone wanted him to read their minds and he had to do so since it was his job, but the questions they asked were almost always the same. How old were they? What was their favorite color? What number were they thinking of? Edward never got asked anything new so this was more a chore than anything else really.

Eventually the bronze haired male decided to focus in on Leah. He could see her through the minds of some of the people wandering around. She looked beautiful like always, but he could detect sadness in her eyes as people made rude comments or pointed at her and laughed. Edward hated some of the thoughts he was hearing. What made this people think that they knew anything about Leah? Just because they were staring at her through the glass it did not mean they knew her. He was sorely tempted to go over to the area she was in and force the people to apologize for the rude thoughts they were having even if most of them were not saying the words out loud. Yet the mind reader was pretty sure if he did that Sam would suspect something and so he did his best to rein in his emotions.

I know you are listening Edward. Leah's mental voice filled his head and he almost blushed when he realized he had been caught red handed sort of. I wish today would just be over and done with already. My back is killing me and I don't have enough room to stretch my wings out in order to get rid of some of the cramps in my muscles. Speaking of pain, I hope your headache is not too bad. There are a lot of people here today and I know that all of their thoughts must be taking a toll on you. Heck I can't read thoughts, but I have a headache just hearing them speak normally so I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through. At least it will be lunch soon and so we will get some sort of a break. Hang in there and remember that I love you.

Her thoughts alone were enough to give the mind reader something to focus on and lift up his spirits. As he continued to read the thoughts of his customers he also allowed his mind to wander to thoughts of Leah and their future together. He knew that one day they would have to leave this place. Perhaps they would be able to convince some of the others to come with them. It would also be most likely that they would have to hide and so finding a house in the country or perhaps an island in the middle of the ocean would be their best bet.

Edward wondered what it would be like if they ever got married and had kids. Would she even want to try to start a family knowing that the children could very well end up with his ability to read minds or her wings. Maybe the Native American female would not want to take that risk. It did not matter to Edward either way. Of course he would like to have kids, but he would be happy enough just having the winged woman in his life. Nothing else really mattered other than her. The details would be figured out eventually and whatever they may be he knew that he would never regret falling in love with her because the simple truth was that Leah completed him in every single way. It was almost as if she had made been for him and him alone.

Finally it was time for lunch and Edward could not be happier. He hurriedly headed off to find Leah. They only had an hour for lunch and then it was back to being stared at. At least they had later that night to look forward too. Being careful was obvious for many reasons, but it would not stop the lovers. Edward would do anything to be with Leah even die her, but he would never tell her that considering it was one of her worst fears not that he could blame her. Yet that did not mean he wouldn't die for her if it came down to that. Hopefully it wouldn't have to end that way. Edward was a sucker for happy endings and he was determined to make sure that he and Leah got theirs because they deserved it. Everyone deserved a happy ending and the winged woman would get hers even if in the end it had to be without him though he hoped against hoped that would not be the case.

TBC…
