Chapter 42: Never too Old for Piggy-Back Rides

Kathleen’s P.O.V

I wrapped my arms around Arthur, and couldn't help the tears that streamed down my face in gratitude. My whole body shook, and my mind replayed all that had just happened. It was a close call…and I never wanted to go through something like this ever again!

I thought that would be the end of me…that I wouldn’t be getting out alive. The chances of a miracle happening had been very slim. But Arthur had appeared out of nowhere, becoming my miracle in this desperate situation. I was extremely grateful to him, and the anger that had overwhelmed me moments ago, completely vanished into thin air now that I was in his arms.

In fact, the anger from before was now replaced with regret. What I had done was simply childish and mindless. Thinking about it now, even Hayley wouldn't have done that. Like an idiot, I had simply staggered out of Arthur's mansion and into the street, with no other plans on what to do next, or where to go.
