Chapter Eleven: Promise
"Ed?" asked Rose as she saw him walk out his bedroom door. Turning, he smiled and began walking over to me.
"Morning Rose, did you sleep well?" he asked kindly.
"Yes, I did," I replied with a smile.
"That's good. Listen, um I was...I was wondering if you would like to join me in a walk?" he asked so shyly, a small blush upon his cheeks. This caused me to laugh a little.
"Yes, I would love to."

Never before had she seen such a beautiful site. The sun was barely setting giving the green fields a lovely view.
"Ed...this is so beautiful," I whispered, amazed.
"Yes it is," he whispered back not looking at the sunset but at me. I turned away from his gaze, trying to hide my growing blush.
"Rose, I...um...well...I..." he stammered, uncertain about what he wants to say, his blush growing all the more.
Silencing him with my finger on his lips, I leaned forward replacing my finger with my lips.
Moving his lips upon mine, it was pure bliss. How I longed to feel his lips on mine, my body pressed against him, my fingers running through his hair.
But it was too short. Realizing what he was doing, he moved away, breaking the kiss. His eyes showed confusion and struggle.
"Rose, I'm sorry," and with those words he left, leaving me alone.

"What have I done?" I asked myself as I entered my room closing the door behind me. "I just kissed Rose!"
Sitting down, I grabbed Noah's journal and began to read it to Nina as she began to sleep.
