That night was painfully longer than usual for both Ruth and Edwin. Ruth could not sleep after coming from Thea's home. Their conversation kept replaying in her head.
She looked outside at the dark sky to realise there was time for the Sun to rise from behind the mountains. Every time she thought of Edwin, she found herself cut into two halves.
One half was scared and nervous, unsure. While the other one was excited and happy. She could not put away the smile from her lips.
Not knowing how to spend the rest of the time, she found the book 'Lethal Love' again after getting tired of staring at those pretty earrings.
Ruth went into the balcony and sat in her favourite corner. She opened the page where she left the last time. She began reading a conversation between the hero and the heroine.
Heroine: "You have to stop running away from me. We can not go on like this forever. We need to stop, breath, think and say the things. That is how it works."
