New Beginnings, Old Tales

12 - Talia

When 7pm arrived the door bell to my apartment went off dead on the o'clock. "Eger tonight Leroy" I chuckled "Well I have a surprise for you so I decided that I'd be on time for once" he smiled. Once I go into the car he asked me to put on a blindfold. I complied and put on the blindfold. When we arrived at our destination Gibbs came around to my side of the car and helped me out. I tried to suss out where we were but I failed. A few miles of stairs later I felt the cold night air whip itself around my body. "Can I take the blindfold off now?" I asked "I'll take it off but keep your eyes closed please" he replied. I did as he asked and kept my eyes closed. I felt his presence leave my side and do something. "Okay Talia, you can open your eyes" Leroy said from a fair distance away. I opened my eyes to see Leroy stood next to a table with a few candles on top and around the surrounding area.
