"Come on!" Whispers Jasper as you near St.Pauls. It's dark, and even though its autumn a slight warm breeze hangs in the hair. Up ahead you can see the Millennium Bridge and you turn to face him. " Jasper, what are we doing?" you question, wondering what you were doing in the streets of London so late at night, when you could be in your warm bed. "You'll see." he says, flashing a grin your way. As you walk onto the Millennium Bridge, you notice things hanging off the railings. Jasper stops you and takes a lock out of his pocket. You stare at the lock in complete confusion and look up at Jasper. Before you can say anything He talks, "Love lock." He says simply
You suddenly realise, as you have seen a bridge covered in them in France. "To symbolise locking and securing a future together and staying together to support each other." you say.
"Undying Love." he says and both of you have large grins on your faces. You blush slightly and hold the lock with him and put it on the railings. You push down and secure it on.

You smile. He cups your face in his hands and looks into your eyes. "I love you, May." and he kisses you.

An old lady walks past and smiles at the sight. A silhouette of young love framed against the white of the moon.
