Charlie woke up right next to William. when had she fallen asleep?
She was in a house, on a bed. "What the?" She asked herself.
A little too loud, she woke up William.
"Oh, sorry Will. Where are we?
"We're in a hotel" He seemed pretty refreshed.
"Really? When did I fall asleep, and how can we afford this?
"Wow, take it easy on the questions! Haha, you fell asleep on a rest break not long after we left the mine, and I carried you and the bag here. And you know the bag that lady gave us?"
"Yeah, what about it?" She was still pretty tired.
"It was full of diamonds and cash!" William was so happy he almost yelled.
" wait, REALLY?"
"Yep! I used some to get accommodation for 2 nights, and we still have heaps left!"
"Wow! Well, I know what we're doing today!"
〰️〰️〰️
Once they had both showered, they left the building with a ton of cash.
" Umm. You go ahead Charlie, I'll be there soon. Go to the market and get some food, well, a lot of food!"
He gave her some money.
"I'll meet you there"
And he walked off.
Charlie wasn't sure why he just left, but she head out anyway.
She found herself at the corner of the store, stareing at a little girl who was crying.
She know how that felt so went into the shop and bought a loaf of bread, some apples and a lollipop just for her.
As she approached the little girl, she cowered away, but as she saw the food, she emerged and grabbed it, tears of joy filling her eyes! She ran up and embraced Charlie. Then pulled away with a shy "thank you."
Charlie new she had done the right thing.
But she still wondered where William was.
〰️〰️〰️
William was at a jeweller, getting a ruby cut and polished.
Charlie's wedding ring.
He had plans to ask her the following day, her sixteeth birthday.
