@@@@@Smiles cannot last todayHis breath on my cheek is warm compared to the chill forest air?Jamie might resent that implication ?Jamie's still a boyPlease, please keep him safe ?I'll make you a deal,? Jared offers?You keepyourself safe, and I'll do my best Just a joke, but I can't take it lightlyOnce we are apart, there are no guarantees?No matter what happens,? I insist?Nothing's going to happen The words are nearly meaninglessBut his voice is worth hearing, no matter the message He pulls me around to face him, and I lean my head against his chestI don't know what to compare his scent toIt is his own, as unique as the smell of juniper or the desert rain?You and I won't lose each other,? he promises?I will always find you again Being Jared, he cannot be completely serious for more than a heartbeat or two?No matter how well you hideI'm unstoppable at hide-and-seek ?Will you give me to the count of ten?? ?Without peeking ?You're on,? I mumble, trying to disguise the fact that my throat is thick with tearsYou're strong, you're fast, and you're smart He's trying to convince himself, too
