Goddard's Home for Troubled Teens

Ryder

I study her, "Why not?"

Val

I hesitate, "They won't let me leave. If anyone sees me..."

Ryder

I take her hand, "No one will see us. We'll go at night."

Val

I swallow and look down at our hands, "But the guards."

Ryder

I study her, "Worse comes to worse, I'll distract them. We won't be seen though, Val. I know that place like the back of my hand and I know how to sneak around."

Val

I sigh, "Fine."

Ryder

I nod, studying her, "I won't let anything happen to us."

Val

I nod back, flashing a smile, "I know."

Ryder

I flash a smile back and hesitate before moving closer.

Val

I smile wider before looking down.

Ryder

I study her before looking down as well, matching her smile.

Val

I sigh, playing with the water in the stream.

Ryder

I do the same, glancing back at the house.

Val

I glance at him, hesitating before pulling him into a kiss.

Ryder

I close my eyes and kiss her back.
