“Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.” – Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land

Niccole's POV

The rest of the museum experience went on without a huss, after those first two paintings. We saw more exhibitions like a waterfall by a painter called Daniel, an exhibition of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ with Mary and Martha crying at the side, another exhibition of a ghost walking on a railway or something like that, and eventually, we were able to go through all the exhibitions. By the time we were done, the morning was over, and we were well into afternoon already.

I suggested to Quillon that we should take some pictures with some of these exhibits and he agreed, so I brought out my iPhone and took some pictures of both of us together. When I was finally satisfied that we were done here, Quillon and I, both exited the building.

"How about that fishing you suggested? It's a good sunny day to go fishing. I know a lake, when I was much younger, I would normally go and fish there with my siblings" Quillon said

"Oh yeah sure, but how're we going to get there? Your car's parked at the other side of the ocean where we left it, before we took that boat ride"

"Yeah, don't worry about that. We'll just take a taxi"

And we did. Flagging one down, we both got into it. It took us straight to the lake Quillon talked about.

"Quillon what about the fishing equipment? What are we going to use to fish?" I asked, stepping out of the car, and watched as Quillon stepped down to, paying the taxi driver as we both watched him zoom off.

"Oh don't worry about that. Many years ago, we left some spare fishing equipments at a hideout we found. So that any one of us could always come there to fish without hassle, whenever we felt like it"

"Oh okay. Is your parents house around here?"

"Yeah kinda, some miles away" he replied non commitantly

The place looked really quiet and really lonely, almost as if there wasn't a soul at here. The water was really clear, I almost felt like taking a swim. And the air around here felt really clean and fresh, I took a slow inhale, breathing fresh air into my lungs, closing my eyes and smiling softly as I slowly breathed out back. The wind was playing with my hair, and fumbling at my clothes.

I patiently stood and waited as Quillon went to search out the fishing equipments, and that was when I heard it. The sound of a very tumultuous rainy downpour

The drizzling came all at once, without running as I screamed out shocked. Rain began falling so heavily, instantly soaking me to bones,

"Quillon!" I scream out, wrapping my arms around myself. As if that helped

He soon appeared out of a corner, drenched as well

"Come on, we neee to find a temporary shelter, get ourselves out of this downpour. The last thing I want, is you catching a cold" he barked out at me, running to where I was and grabbing my hands, as we both started running, looking for a temporary shelter

"Are you even sure anyone lives around here? Why didn't any of us think to check the weather report first, before venturing out for a fishing expenditure?" I bit out, chastising him just as equally as I was chastising myself

"There used to be a cabin around here, belonging to an old woman who lived here" he offers as a way of an explanation, as few minutes later, we find the cabin. A really small cabin

Quillon knocks on the cabin door, and an elderly woman just as he'd said, came to open the door

"Oh dear, you're both soaked. Well come on in. I get people like you quite often, needing shelter from the rain"

"Good afternoon ma'am" I offered, as Quillon ushered us in

"Good afternoon dear. I'll give you some clothes to change into, so you can get out of these wet ones" she offered

"Thank you ma'am" I smile weakly, already feeling guilty that we were dripping water on her floor

Few minutes later, she comes back with some clothes for Me and Quillon, and dumps them in my awaiting arms

"I hope you don't mind these. The male clothes belong to my late husband while the female once are mine, when i was much much younger"

"They will have to do ma'am. Thank you so much. You've already done enough for us as it is" I say sincerely, genuinely touched by the old woman's generosity. She looked somewhat in her 70's.

"You can go change over there" she cheers hapily
