Her bangs fluttered when the wind hit her face as she raced in the highest speed her legs could work in. Maintaining balance, she cycled her way through the almost empty road. She watched as milestones passed by, sign boards passed by, hills passed by. For a second she was so lost in the pleasant cool breeze, she had forgotten the sole single other soul behind her. Upon hearing the sound of his cycle bell, she returned to reality, shrieked with laughter and increased her speed. She looked back for a second and saw that he had by now caught up to her.

As a drop of tear escaped her eye, she felt him lift their intertwined hands and wipe it off with his thumb. With glistening eyes she turned to him and wasn't surprised to be received with the same from him. Suddenly he moved forward and kissed her forehead, hugging her tight. Not caring whether his t-shirt got wet or not, she hugged him even tighter. As they broke the hug and moved away, they felt a strange braveness within them. And they knew, it was time...
