章 31: Chapter Twenty-Nine

Hope was asleep now. She had crashed again, as soon as the lights in the Park started coming on.

He exhaled. Currently, she was resting on his shoulder as he stared into the distance. The night sky was beautiful. The stars were twinkling wonderfully as though oblivious to what was currently happening on the Earth.

On top of the current pandemic, there would be an evacuation soon.

Seth glanced down at the petite woman beside him.

He sighed closing his eyes.

"Hope we have to leave now," Seth said steering her gently.

Groaning her eyes fluttered open.

Seth saw as her eyes adjusted to the darkness till they found his.

"Seth."

"Yeah?"

"I fell asleep?"

Seth nodded.

She sat up resting her head in her hands.

"Must have been really out of it."

"Yeah, you were." Seth smiled, "How were we ever friends in Uni? You never liked staying up late, not even to study. It's like a taboo for you."

Blushing red, Hope glared at him mumbling under her breath.
