Cairo, smiling looking into her eyes. immediately hugged her. While Veya still in shocked not saying a word, and frozen like ice. 

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Cairo asked. 

"I'm still surprised" Veya replied. 

Cairo holds her hands, running his fingers on her hand... "your hands are as perfect as I imagined them" 

Veya shockingly pulls her hand away, "what do you mean?" 

"I may have imagined holding your hands, while I'm fast asleep" 

"dreaming?" veya asked

"yeah" he answered, Veya trying to find a way to talk about Gab. and the times she felt off, like slowly she is fading away.  

"what is in the bag?" Veya asked nervously. 

"ow" he picks it up and hands the bag to her, "its something I think you might like" 

Veya opens the bag and sees, a hoodie inside with a book she has been debating to purchase. 

"No?!" "Cairo wait are you serious??" "Cairo no way?" "Cairo stop stop!" Veya hugs Cairo tightly and thanks him. 

"Cairo... you don't have to get me this, I mean why are you here?" Veya asked. 

"look I know that I've been off lately, well not really chatting you lately because I've, been you know busy," Cairo answered. 

"Plus, I think we really do need to talk...Cairo added.

"really? okay yeah me too, I got to say a few things, Veya answered. 

"wanna go for a walk?" Veya asked.  Cairo Nodded. 

They get out of the house and walk around the village till they reached this park, filled with a white Gazeebo and a cute little bridge. with flowers around. 

So they both sat Down and talked.... 

I'll go first? Cairo asked and Veya nods.
