"We should go before ..."
"They'll start looking for us. Yeah." He interrupted me.
We both stood up. Francesco boldly started walking, but I stopped. I really don't want to die like this. Falling to the ground.
Wet ground and heels don't go together.
"Are you going?" He turned to me with a confused look. I looked at my feet and him again. "Really?" He raised an eyebrow. "All right." He rolled his eyes and walked over to me.
"What do you want to do?"
"Guess." He stood next to me and put his hands on my hips.
"Hey. Hey. Hey." I stopped him and stepped away from him. "You won't carry me." I objected.
"And how do you want to get to the car?"
He has a point.
"Okay. But you won't carry me in your hands." I nodded to the bench. "Stand in front of that." He did what I said while I stood on the bench. He turned his back on me and I jumped on him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he grabbed my front feet.
He didn't say anything all the way to the car, and neither did I. I think it's embarrassing enough. But at least I won't die here today. I don't know if that's good or not.
"Careful." He said quietly. He slowly removed my legs from his hips and laid me on the ground.
I got in the car with a smile. He said 'careful'. I don't think he intended to say it so loudly.

"Where have you been for so long?" I noticed Leo's head around the corner.
"Something hold us back." I walked over to him and hugged him. It's been a long time since we've hugged. I have to say I missed it. Every day he has been in my life. It's weird to be without him for more than a week.
"I bet." He muttered and I rolled my eyes. I know Francesco's eyes are burning right now.
"Is Lydia asleep yet?" I pulled away.
"No." He looked at me. "She's in the living room." He said with a serious look. "With her mother."
Before I could say a word, Francesco flew past me. He shrugged into Leo and completely avoided me.
"Hey." He stopped me when I wanted to go after them. "I'm sure it's a family business."
"Yes, of course. I'm sorry." I laughed and took a few steps back to where I was standing. "I just wanted to say hello to Alessia."
"Who's hoodie is that?" He grabbed the edges of Francesco's black sweatshirt.
"Yours?" I tried to play it.
"Amira ...." He began.
"I have nothing to do with him." I went to him. "I just felt cold." This is not a lie.
