He asked looking around for her. Both of them had fallen separately in the thick shrubs and he thought he had lost her.

Losing her should had been a good thing for him because he wouldn't have to be responsible for her actions and annoying traits but he wouldn't do that.

He remembered the instructions given to her about him. He wouldn't want her to start searching for him like a crazed dog.

It tasted as though he could get high on it but he removed his lips, stopped sniffing and raised his head.

His head began to swell as though twas some balloon that's been inflated.

Then it stopped and got up once, he could see the lady next to him. He had no idea why he hadn't felt it before.

She was lying on her face and was groaning. Twas expected of him to help of course.

"Are you alright?"
