I watch the cop that saved Ava leads her away. For some reason I hated how he was holding her hand. Like seriously, was it a must he holds her fucking hand?

She smiles back at me and just like the first time she did, her smile captures me. Enthralls me

and takes me back to the time when we were together.

Ava gives her brother a cool look. The warmth that was on her face a few seconds ago completely

gone.

“No, there is no need for that” she answers.
