"Wh-What? Is that even possible?" I said in disbelif.
"Yeah, I know it sounds weird but it's true! I think it will be the perfect. Away from it all. Live the simple life, ya' know?"
"If it is a real place than it sounds wonderful but how do you know it is really there? What if it's fake?"
"But it isn't. I already bought us a small house. It won't be much but it will work for the time being. Until we settle in."
That was Craig for you, brave and smart as any man can get. Why I say man is because he can't be a boy with this much common sense. His thick dark brown curls, big hopeful green eyes, and he is head-strong but stubborn never forgetting a defeat and that is why I said...
"I know you. I know how you can get. And I know that I can trust you about going to Galio."
I made a caring smile and looked deep in his emerald eyes.
"Just promise me that we can have good times and forget about the bad."
"I promise. Can you promise me one thing too?"
"Yeah sure what is i-"
He tipped my chin up with his thumb, pulled me close, and gently kissed me. His lips were soft and the whole world stopped for a few seconds. My hands were on his chest and I could feel his heart beat. It was the best thirty seconds of my whole life.
We had to part no matter how much I wanted him to hold me like that again.
"Can you promise me that this could happen again?" he said still close to me.
My cheeks felt warm on my pale skin but of course I said yes.
"Okay good," he said, "So you will also accept my invitation to travel in the taxi with me?"
"No."
"Um but I thought we-..."
"Oh! No it isn't anything against you Craig! I have my own money don't waste yours on me."
I was waiting for him to try again but instead he laughed a bit then said "That's my Vanilla. So independent and stubborn." He grinned at me and ran his fingers through my soft fiery red hair.
"I don't know when I will get there so whoever gets there first has to hold down the fort. It takes 5 days by taxi." He said handing me a map.
It had a path highlighted. It ran through at least seven dozen small towns. Where it lead wasn't even marked on the map.
"However you get there, Nilla, take this path. It's the fastest way. I know there isn't a town mapped there but it is there I assure you, it just shows how small of a town it is."
"Okay, sounds good. What should we pack?"
"Only the clothes on our back can help us. They have a different currency anyway. None of our things would be worth anything there anyway."
"Okay... Um... Are you still sure about this?"
"Sure as if my dad has an alcohol problem."
We shared a laugh and another mind-blowing kiss.
"I will see you when I see you in our new home."
"I'll mark that day."
We climbed down the rickety ladder him first, then me. At the bottom he assisted me in a way that made my heart beat faster than usual. He lifted me by the waist and spun 180 degrees. Putting me down gently we held each other in a tight embrace. We shared another soft kiss before we parted.
