(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.
