Anticipating The Gloom

She didn't want the daylight to break. She didn't want to say yes to her parents. Because she didn't want to marry Cedric.

Even if it might only be for a short period, she couldn't. The thought of marrying him was the cause of all her fears. And now that Greg was with her, she didn't have to fear anymore. She might sound as a coward but that was all she wanted at this moment. She only wanted to be with Greg.

Her eyes watered again and she buried her face on his chest. Right now, she didn't care about anything. As long as he left with her, she would do anything to make sure she never left his side. If only that would protect her from her parents. And also, Cedric.

It was heartbreaking to let them down again. But she hoped they would realize who Cedric really was, as soon as possible. They would come to know of his true colors no matter how long it took. And they would be grateful that she ran away.
