Lost and Hunted

24

Kai wasn't just a regular person, he was now a murderer. A cold blooded murderer. He wiped his dirty blonde hair out of his face. Kai wondered if Savanna would ever talk to him again. At this point, probably never. Just when he was about to give up, a nock came at his door.
"Come in" he mumbled. To his surprise it was Savanna. She looked disheveled, but still as beautiful as always. She had dark spots under her eyes, and her eyes were red and splotchy from crying.
"Can I sit down?" She asked in a choked whisper.
"Yea, of course" replied Kai.
He made tea, remembering how they had buried Henry. Just digging pile, dumping him in, and closing it up. And the flowers, lots and of them, too.
"So, I forgot to tell you thanks for,saving my life" Savanna said, wincing at the hot tea.
"Uh-thanks?" He said it more a s a question then a statement.
"I mean it" Savanna said back, and he. And he could tell that she did.

Savanna talked with Kai for a looooong time. He seemed like a really nice guy. Like Henry. She started sobbing, aka I comforted her.
"Hey,,there. There, it's okay, do you want to talk about it?" He said soothingly. That made her feel a little better, maybe a lot. Kai was cute, with his shaggy dirty blonde hair, and sharp blue eyes. She realized that she had been staring and quickly looked away.
"Are you admiring my good looks" Kai said jokingly as he faked a model pose. Savanna laughed. Then recalling  He Henry's death, immediately felt guilty.

Kai heart fluttered when she looked at him. Man, he needed to stop liking her. Right now. Well....maybe later. It. Old wait. He looked at Savanna,,who looked about ready to cry. He put an arm around her shoulder. Hesitantly at first, than with more confidence. Wow, he really liked her, and he didn't care who knew.
