SHIRK

Hazel couldn't believe she was standing in the middle of a nightclub with Tom. She had only been single for a few weeks after Gerald ended things with her, but Tom had been persistent in his pursuit of her. At first, she was hesitant to start anything new, but as the days went by, she found herself enjoying Tom's company more and more. She was expecting to be really lonely after Gerald broke up with her but all thanks to Clara.

The music was loud, and the lights were flashing all around them. Tom had his arm around her waist, and she seemed to feel safe and comfortable with him. As they danced, Hazel couldn't help but notice how different Tom seemed from Gerald. He was kinda, kind, caring, understanding and didn't seem to have a care in the world. It was refreshing to be around someone like that.

As they took a break from dancing, Tom leaned in close to Hazel. "You having fun?" he asked with a smile.

Hazel grinned back at him. "Yeah, I am. Thanks for bringing me here."
