There's trees lining the path we walk on, and water on the other side. I turn to Jacob, and ask him, "Do you really want to do this?" And he returns with a smile, saying "Of course, anything to help you!" I find it strange that we're both so close now, I would never have guessed that he would've liked me, out of all people, especially Emma! Its hitting me now, that he does in fact, like me.
Looking out onto the water, I see big gray rocks peeking on the surface, thinking we must be close to the deepest part. We've been walking for what seems like hours now, maybe two, or three.
"Are we getting close? My feet are hurting a bit." He smiles, and bends over, picking me up. One arm under my back, the other my knees. I wrap my arms around his shoulders. And I whisper in his ear, "Thank you."
Jacob stops when he saw it.
