Taking a quiet sigh, Kyle peeked through the tree trunk. The patrol unit were still moving around there. He could have just left her there by the road, but he did not know how he ended up running off and grabbing her along with him. And right now, he actually felt like he did not want to let go of this girl just yet.
"Uhm… are they… still there?" he suddenly heard her muffled and weak voice asking from the general region of his chest. He had pushed her so close to his chest that it must have pressed her face right into him. Kyle could hear her heartbeat beating erratically and her breathing was slightly breathless. Was she nervous? Or was it because he was this close to her?
"Are you scared of me?" he asked. He just could not stop himself from talking to her.
"Nope."
"Your heartbeat is really loud right now," he said that in a slow whisper, causing her eyes to widen as she quickly looked up at him.
