A Memory

Ning and Ely arrived on the outskirts of Nantes city in France. They arrived alongside an abandoned alleyway and walked out with hands still holding each other.

As soon as they were out, Ning could see the river Loire across from them. Seeing that gave him an idea of where to go.

However, as he was about to move, he noticed that Ely wasn't moving at all. He turned around to see that she was staring at the river with wide eyes, which were starting to get misty with tears.

"You okay, honey?" Ning asked her.

Ely's hands shivered a little before she got a hold of herself. "Yes," she said, wiping her years. "I just got emotional. I remembered seeing this river all the time when I was stuck in my room, and the memory overwhelmed me a little."

Ning noticed her slightly trembling hands and held them together tightly. "You must be nervous," he said.
