"Pinch me." She said to herself.

The sun had started rising by now and the lights in the city turned off.

"How long did you know about this?" She asked me and I just shrugged, stuffing my hands into my pockets.

"Landon?" She called quietly after a while, turning to look at me and I raised an eyebrow in question.

She buried her face in my chest and I froze. My entire body tensed up at the feeling of being touched and I didn't respond immediately. I still wasn't used to this.

Her arms removed themselves from around my torso and her hands took mine. She placed my arms around her, letting out a small laugh as she did before burying her face in my chest
