We need help."His grip on the shotgun was strong. "What were you doing out here?" he inquired, his tone cold. Sara moved ahead her gaze glued to the shotgun. “Please, we are telling the truth, we need help, we are not here to harm you.”Looking at Austin and Sara, the elderly man's eyes bright with inquiry. He asked, his voice gritty and low, "Are you two girlfriend and boyfriend and here you were came for any…you know adult activities?" Austin reacted immediately. "No," he said, shaking his head.The old man's face darkened, and he leveled the shotgun straight at Austin and Sara. Their hearts pounding, they glanced at one another fearfully.Sara's voice shook as she said up, "No, no, we are husband and wife. We were just passing from here we lived in Los Angeles, the accident happened. Please trus

Sara’s eyes sparkled openly as she spun her fictitious love tale. She started her story and stopped and said to me, "I noticed him in the library". "And I...liked him."She gathered herself for a moment and then continued. “It never crossed my mind that we would run into one another in a very unpredictable setting. I went for an interview and saw him there . . . . His best friend was an interviewer and an assistant to him.”Austin looked straight back at her and without a second thought he interrupted in his usual sarcastic way. “I found her interesting at the outset, but I did not know she’d be rapidly becoming my friend’s assistant.”Before Sara was able to complete her statement, Austin chimed in – delivery thick with sarcasm. “I took her for not much, but I ran into her one day at a café and...Was hooked. But I didn’t know that she would land a job as my friend’s assistant.”Sara played pretend to be surprised, but the anger underneath was obvious. Austin continued, his tone bitin

Austin's slumber had a strong fantasy of him and Sara snuggled up together, engulfed in a warm golden glow. It was unlike any moment he had ever shared with her, and yet, the soothing feeling of her lips brushing against his felt deeply tangible. Austin was glowing with giddy excitement as the romantic kiss deepened further.Unfortunately, with the exhilaration comes the distinguishable feeling of reality as the mind registers it is nothing but a fantasy. With the sudden move from him, Sara recreationally stirs beside her only to wake up with a jolt. She was truly in for the shock of her life as she slowly lifted her blurred-vision eyes to meet the reality of an Austin who was beneath her while she single-handedly draped her arm on his chiseled chest."What the...?" Since when did she have this much anger reserved in her soft voice? Austin could only think as the sound of shock yet ire rang loose. ”You made me do this.” An admirable effort to start off the day without violence only go

As Sara entered her house, she found Maria wiping a photo of the family. Her eyes were sad as she carefully touched the picture. In the picture, George smiled beside their four kids, starting with oldest daughter Emily, Michael and the twin siblings Rachel and Benjamin.Seeing how upset Maria was, Sara went over and touched her shoulder. “You certainly miss your children, right?” She spoke softly to her.She nodded the tears in her eyes near the surface. The memories she once had with her family replaced the quiet, as she continued to look at the picture.After sitting down beside her, Sara spread a feeling of comfort around her. "You carry them with you, Maria. They’re always in your heart," she said gently.Maria exhaled deeply, sounding very sad. “I’d like for my children to be like you, but it won’t do any good to wish that. They left their old parents like this. One day, they’ll understand when their kids leave them," she lamented.She was quiet, as if she could feel Maria’s hurt

Sara’s eyelids grew heavy from all the driving. No sign of light shone outside and all that could be heard was the gentle sound of the engine.Austin maintained his focus on the road in front, using just a few little movements to steer the car around each turn. There was a silence between them.Sara slightly went off to sleep, her head moving lower and lower as time passed. She noticed the car going forward, but soon she couldn’t fight off sleep anymore and closed her eyes. Without realizing it, she fell asleep and her breathing became relaxed.He didn’t notice, his mind elsewhere and occupied driving. As he kept watching over the long silence, he realized that Sara was leaning against the door, looking cold as the air-conditioning didn’t seem to be enough. He gave himself a little smile.He quickly reached out, changed the temperature and checked that she wouldn’t feel cold. He looked over at her and realized she was still shivering. Quickly, he threw off his jacket and placed it ove
