I had arrived on the other side, my belongings laying on the green grass in a medieval-looking design.
No need to worry about that now.
Knowing that it would take some time to get everything up the hill, I slung all the backpacks I could carry over my head and shoulders, strapping them mercilessly to my body.
With a long look up the hill, I breathed out a tired sigh before I had even started. I let the seconds pass, not wanting to move or begin on my last journey up the hill. But in the end, I pushed myself to go up.
Heavy. That's what it all felt.
And I'm not saying that just because I'm carrying eight backpacks like a bodybuilder. No. Some meanings have two sides — just like people do.
I carried it all to the top, slinging one backpack after the other off my frame. Damn, it was harder than I thought.
"Elena?"
The warm voice had me snapping my head to the source of the sun.
My eyes landed on those chocolate orbs I had learned to love. The orbs I could stare at all day and all night without a blink of an eye.
It was like the time stood still.
Ironic, isn't it?
"Ethan," I breathed out, feeling my eyes glistering with cold water and warm happiness.
He stood there, tall and vulnerable, yet, the bright smile held its place on his face.
