(Emma is turning 16 and Graham is 17)

Emma's POV

I'm breathing so hard and I'm pressed up against a tree.

Hide and seek is childish but when you live in the woods it is entertaining.

"Elizabeth!" I hear when two hands land on my shoulder.

I jump.

"Gosh Graham your good." I tell him.

He blushes.

"I know" he says.

He grabs my hand and says "I want to show you something."

He starts walking and I follow.

I see a stump and candle light and a small pastry on one side and a bigger one on the other.

I smile and he gestures to the bigger pastry.

."Happy birthday Elizabeth." He says to me.

I am a little surprised he knows my birthday but we know the dates by looking at the news posts and by asking other people.

"Thank you." I say hugging him

We sit down and start to eat.

After we are done eating her tells me to blow out the candle center piece and to make a wish.

I shut my eyes think of a wish and blow out the candle.

"Thanks again." I say kissing Graham's cheek.

I expect him to blush but he doesn't, what he does is surprising he grabs my face and kisses me on the lips.

Surprisingly I lean into the kiss and put my hands on his shoulders.

He then says something to me that I thought would surprise me, but it doesn't.

"I love you." He says.

Before I can think about it I start to run, fast.
