Saving
Six New York City, New York February 22, 1941 Amelia
Ever wondered what could be worse than having you're celebratory night out on the city ruined?
Well aren't I ever so glad you wonder cause let me give it to ya straight...
Imagine stepping off a steamy hot engined train, all to be smacked in the face by the brother you have spent the last six years communicating through letters by, toss a bring-you-to-your-knees size of news as if such were something to get excited over... all you can do at that precise moment once that smile of his ever so brightly shines down for your approval is... congratulate him.
Because who likes being a Debbie doubter?
Amelia McCawley, that's who.
Okay so what could be worse than that? You might ask— Oh just let me tell you...
Try having to avoid the man who shattered your heart to a million microscopic pieces those same six years ago. Staring you down every second that's pass since those heels of yours touched the pavement of the said train station. His look so daring that it could cast a tension thicker than a week old barrel of lard just smelting in the summer sun, all over this very moment.
I can't even breathe. But do I allow that huge fact to be known?
Of course not. I'm not one to melt under pressure. At least, not anymore.
Those brown eyes of his haven't batted a glance tat anyone else since they glued on to me.
..god they are more stunning than I remembered them to be.
Though the way his confident, yet nervous burst of looks burns a hole into my face from across the busy, jiving party room. I can tell my peaceful exile from the real world all around me is all but wearing very thin, soon coming to an end..
Danny Walker is starting to make his way through the crowds of dancing nurses and military men. His destination?
Me.
A bit too impatiently, I flagged the bartender for another burning shot of whiskey. If I was certain of one thing... It was certain that tonight wouldn't be and easy dose of reality to swallow and something to numb the realness away sounded rather needed right now. Especially before Danny made it closer.
