One Heart- The Greatest Showman

Chapter 66

Elizabeth's Pov 

I remained outside in the snow for a little while, Anne went back inside to have a cup of tea, telling me that it was far too cold out here right now for her. It probably was for me as well, but right now it wasn't bothering me. Now, I know that I have a tendency to overthink things and make crazy things up but I don't think I am over thinking this. Well, maybe a little bit with the whole promise with Anne but that is just a precaution.  Just in case things get out of hand. But it is driving me crazy, well crazier than usual, not knowing what is going to happen. It is like when you are reading, and you everything works out the way it is meant to but you have a hundred pages to go, therefore something bad is going to happen. That is the exact feeling I have right now. Everything is perfect right now, but Lillia has something planned and that just keeps coming to the front of my mind. 

I hear footsteps in the snow behind me, and someone sitting down next to me. I don't even have to ask who it is. 

"You should be inside." I say bluntly, turning to Phillip and giving him a small smile. He did look a lot better, his rash had almost completely disappeared.

"Well, I came to check up on you." He said as he put an arm around my shoulders, pulling me into his side.

"Why would you need to check on me? I am perfectly fine."  I lie, but it does sound pretty convincing and I almost convince myself. 

"Because you're definitely not fine." 

"And why is that?" I question him, wondering if I was that see through. Or did Anne tell him everything? Or maybe I didn't hide it well enough?

"You think something doesn't add up with Hannah's story." 

I opened my mouth to speak but he cut me off before I could even start explaining. "I know that because I have the same feeling."

"You Do?" I asked, almost smiling because I didn't make it up in my head, it was actually evident. But on the other hand, I could feel a pit forming in my stomach, as that it was actually true therefore my thoughts about Lillia could be true as well. 

"Yes. But for now, we just have to take it for what it is and try not to worry about anything that could happen. Just focus on the now." He said, fiddling with a fallen piece of hair with his thumb and forefinger. 

He is right. I mean that is what Charity said to me, that I can't wait for things to happen. I have to just take it one step at a time and focus on that one step. 

I lean in and I kiss him, before pulling away, resting my forehead on his head. "I love you." I exhaled, my breathe evident and it you looked hard enough you could almost see the words I love you form out of my breathe. I lean in and kiss him again. 

"I love you too." He smiles back at me, I leave my hands linked around his shoulders. "Not that I'm complaining or anything, but what were those for?"  

"Just for reminding me about something very important," I whisper, "also your face is really warm and I am pretty sure I am getting hypothermia." I giggle and he does as well, his smile and his eyes twinkle and he is just being amazing and just.....I'm without words to be honest. 

"Come on then." He stands up, holding out his hand to help me get up, to which I accept as we walk back towards Countess Adele's manor, hand in hand. The snow falling effortlessly onto us, dying our hair white as we walked in the snow.
