*Tallon*
After a long day of stressfully trying to track down our mole, I was more than ready to meet Natalia for a date. I had spent such a long time pursuing her that it still surprised me when she quickly answered my texts and calls.
I had called her during lunch to ask her out to dinner and was excited when she easily said yes. Now I was on my way to pick her up from her apartment. She lived within walking distance of the heart of the city, and although I would have felt much better if she was safe within the compound, I couldn’t help but agree with her that her apartment was in a great location.
I walked up to her door and knocked, holding a bouquet of flowers in my hand, including a sprig of bleeding hearts. I smiled to myself as I remembered our previous conversation. I knew I was being sappy as hell, but I didn’t care. Natalia was worth it.
