Throughout the journey from the treehouse to the city centre, and the entire trip in his 4WD as well as the walk towards the carriage, it was all done in utter silence. Perhaps the silence was comfortable for him, but it was a helluva awkward one for me. I ran so many dialogues and scenarios in my head, trying to break the ice, but my tongue just won't cooperate!
However, I know one thing must be done from the beginning. I'm the one at fault. I'm the one who needs to fix it. That's right! Fix-It Felix needs to work overtime today.
With a few hiccups of umms and ahhs, I finally gathered my courage. Or actually, my tongue finally unrolls itself.
"Umm Wystan," I said. My eyes were trying oh so desperately to lock his in place. He looked at me with an unreadable gaze as his golden fringe covered slightly his emerald green eyes. It made me want to fall on my knees and begged for his dazzling smile to appear on his handsome face!
