The Runaway Angel5

Later, when they got back, they got ready for the afternoon service. Bernisa had on a blue flowery dress and had her hair pinned up. "The blue brings out your eyes," Lionel commented. "My eyes are green silly." "I know that. I'm not wearing that tux. I hate looking proper." Bernisa shrugged. Lionel was wearing jeans and a brown t-shirt. He had his shaggy hair down, covering his eyes. "Lets go," Bernisa said. "It's almost 4:00."

The church was hot and stuffy. There werent many people, because those who came to the morning service were many. They all had things to do later that day. The two teens sat in the back, out of anyones way and invisible to the eye. The human eye. At the end, as they were leaving, someone tried to talk to Bernisa, the same to Lionel. "Taken," they both said. The willing admirers left with their heads down.

When they got back to the shanty, they packed up their things and left, starting to walk at six. They spoke nothing for a time, then Lionel spoke. "How did you come to love me Bern?" For a moment, Lionel didnt think she would answer. "There was no choice L. We had travelled together, gotten kidnapped together, and changed together. What else was I supposed to do? I wasnt expecting it either but it just- never mind." Lionel kept his head down, and mumbled something. "What?"

"I said that I loved you since we met." Bernisa put an arm around his shoulder. "Thanks." They again lasped into silence. They walked seven miles that day before resting. Leaving Jayse and entering Dof.
