Johan insists on paying for the food food and Ana groans in annoyance.
"I'm trying to be nice, that's all Ana", Johan explains as he puts his hands up.
Ana just raises an eyebrow and mutters something about feminism. Johan tries to get Ana to talk to him but she just keeps quiet and they keep driving until they reach a small town called Dorpeville.
They decide to explore the old mines and the rock hill that is on the edge of the town. They get invited to a party by some teenagers that live there that Ana doesn't go to and that Johan attends for twenty minutes before realising he isn't enjoying it. It dawns on him that the only reason he hasn't had a girlfriend for longer than a month is because he is always comparing them to Ana. He realises that it took him two years to realise that he still hasn't gotten on over his childhood crush.
He leaves the party and runs to the caravan.

"Ana!Ana!", he shouts.

It is only when he hears Ana's pleas that he realises what he has done. In a split second he kicks the door open and finds Ana on the corner of the small caravan. She is curled up in a ball and there are tears running down her cheeks.
He puts his hands up and drops to his knees.
"It's Johan, your Johan," he whispers.
He takes her hands and leads her to the bed. He wraps his arm around her waist and she puts her head on his chest.

"I thought...I thought it was him and that he was gonna...", Ana cries softly.

He intertwines their hands and places his forehead on her forehead.
He whispers words of comfort until she falls asleep.
It is only when she is asleep that he looks her. Her caramel skin, her short tangled eyelashes, her curly brown hair  and her lips...her pink pouty lips. Her mouth is open slightly and her hand isn't holding his anymore but is under his shirt. He kisses her and whispers three little words in her ears that he hopes will reach her one day and drapes his arm over her waist again as he falls asleep.
