The lodge

As the air causes my lungs to shiver, we stop at a lodge, we're gonna have to stay the night, since travelling at night is far from recommended.

'Alright, I have the rooms booked for ya'll, breakfast will be served at six am tomorrow'.

'Thank you Sir, we appreciate it'. I respond as Emaline nods in approval.

Likewise, we head up to our rooms,  into a living room that connects two rooms.


With no further thought, hesitation, we both run fast for the couch.

'Oh My Goodness, Arlo be a gentleman.'

'Nah, not today'.

I manage to invade all the space on the couch, she stops for a bit, the slightest bit annoyed until a smile smirks on her face.

She jumps straight onto me. Therefore, the pain forces it's way through my body, her hips crushing mine.  

'Bro, you're evil.' as an expression for my suppressed pain.

'You just realized?' unaffected by my complaint.

A few seconds later, we both sit up, the tension in the room calms down.

We both say each other's names at the same time and embrace each other, my arms are wrapped tight around her waist and her arms wrapped a bit lower than my neck. As her chin rests on my shoulder, I feel her emotions, she needs me.
