When Alex and Astrid got home, their parents weren't around so they all decided to do their chores and hang out later in the evening. Though none of them were saying it they know their relationship would take a step further before the end of the day. Astrid had resolved to take the bull by the horns since Alex was being reluctant.
"I would like to go to the cabin with you." Astrid came to tell Alex after they are done with their chores.
"Are you not scared again?"
"Why would I be? I have you that is stronger than any danger that would come at me." Astrid spoke confidently and Alex smiled.
"Alright, you have to wait for me, remember I am still grounded. I would have to tell my parents I would retire early."
"Alright, you can come to get me when you're ready." Astrid went back home.
True to Alex's words, he came to Astrid's window before dark. She was already waiting so he didn't have to throw pebbles.
"Would you be able to catch me?"
