"I've missed you. You have no idea how long I've waited for this moment," she whispered softly, hugging me tight to her. "Do you think there's a camera hidden somewhere? Or a listening device?"
Her question surprised me. I tried to pull away, but she clung to me like an octopus. "Not yet, silly!"
"I'm sorry. To be honest, I really don't know," I whispered back, calmly. "I'm yet to spot one, but I can't assure you that there aren't at all. You know how these people are."
She exhaled, finally pulling back, her gaze still on me. "It's too cool in here. We need some fresh air. Also, the view outside is spectacular. What do you say?"
I knew what she wanted, so I nodded. "Let's go outside, then. We'll sit on the field and talk." I rose up.
We strode outside, hand in hand, away from the house across the field and plopped down on the soft, grass. Helly plucked a grasshopper out of my dress and threw it away. "Grasses would've been perfect without these bugs."
I laughed. "True."
