Chapter Thirteen

Runaway Lovers

“Toby, this is crazy,” Amelia said as she struggled to carry her bag down the staircase. They had returned to his house and packed their bags for another adventure. Where they would go, Amelia didn’t know. And for the first time in her twenty-eight years, she didn’t care. Toby dashed up the steps and took the bag from her and grinned as he carried it down.

“That’s the point, isn’t it?” he countered. Amelia pulled her scrunchie out of her hair allowing thick curls to fall down past her shoulders. She had changed into a plain yellow T-shirt and beige shorts and wrapped a white hoodie around her waist. Toby explained with a wicked glint in his eye that they would take a road trip up to northern California for a “sight like nothing you’ve ever seen before.” Amelia rolled her eyes, she remembered saying the same thing to him when they were in the Forest of Dean.

Something told her that the views she was about to see would far surpass the grandeur of Symonds Yat. Toby’s black Audi sat idling on the driveway, and he placed Amelia’s bag into the boot and closed it with two hands. The heat of the sun warmed the front porch and was a stark contrast to the icy cold air conditioning in the house. Amelia sat on the floor and put her trainers on, fastening the shoelaces absent-mindedly as she looked up at the blue sky. Her eyes followed two white birds flying wing to wing across the sky and out of sight behind the rooftop of the house across the road.

“Seeing as we’re in a rush, I thought we could eat on the way?” Toby suggested as he locked the front door and followed Amelia to the car. Her stomach grumbled at the thought of food.

“On our way where exactly? Do you have a plan for our getaway?” she asked. They got into the car and buckled their seatbelts as Toby started the engine.

“I promised to take you to a proper lake, remember?” He grinned. Amelia raised an eyebrow.

“Oh that’s right, because the lake in Cheltenham wasn’t a real one.” She resisted the urge to roll her eyes, then quipped, “As long as we’re not hiking there!”

Toby laughed as he reversed the car out from the driveway.

“Okay, noted. No hiking.”

Amelia’s eyes glazed over as Toby drove the car along the suburban streets. She settled back into the leather seat, the stiff suspension of the car exaggerated every bump in the road. Amelia’s shoulder repeatedly knocked against the door as she leaned into it.

“How long is the drive?” she asked with a yawn. Her eyes grew heavy and her head began to droop with the sudden wave of tiredness.

“I’m just figuring out which lake to take you to….” Toby trailed off, deep in thought. Amelia craned her neck to look at him and stared at his serious side profile. She smiled at the sight of his furrowed brows and the way his bottom lip stuck out slightly.
