I'm sorry this chapter is so short; it doesn't even deserve to be a chapter! Sorry 'bout that....

The two talked happily for a while, and all was right in the world, for just that night.

"Um, Julie?" Crutchie asked timidly.

"Yeah?" she responded. 

"Well, there was this place Jack, um a friend was tellin' me 'bout, called Santa Fe," he began. "It's west, in the country. He said it's really peaceful there, an everything is perfect. I was thinkin' dat maybe, someday, you an me, we could go there together?" 

"Gosh, Crutchie, that's so sweet," she whispered. "I would love to!" She kissed him on the cheek. He smiled at her. 

Suddenly, they heard the thundering sound of thirty-something footsteps on the stairs. The rest of the boys in the refuge were coming. Julie jumped up, kissed Crutchie on the forehead, and whispered "I love you," in his ear before quickly hurrying to the window. She quickly slipped outside into the night, seconds before the other children burst in. 

"I love you," Crutchie whispered.
