Her Past

Carl whisked her into his arms as he took her into his room. He gently placed her on the bed then covered her with a blanket.

"Rest, let me go get us food," he whispered.

Next he got up. At the same time she held his wrist, "Aren't you curious?"

He sighed before sitting down, "I am. I want to know everything about you. While this may be true, I do not want to force you to open up to me."

Kim nodded in understanding.

"Promise me," she sniffled, "that you won't leave me after hearing my story."

Her eyes though cautious were hopeful.

Carl pushed her hair aside before planting a lingering kiss on her forehead.

If ever there was a doubt, his kiss made an end to her hesitation.

"I'm not sure where to start… it's going to be a long story why don't you lie down with me?"

Her low voice was enchanting. Instantaneously, he lifted the blanket and laid beside her.
