After a full day of shopping and basking in the sunlight Will and Katie decide to call it a day. They head towards the same park in which they were attacked in. They walk hand in hand. Katie is filled with joy after a day spent getting to know Will better and is elated that he seems happy with her too, happy enough to hold her hand. Will turns to Katie just before they arrive at the park. ‘Katie.’ He says softly.

She looks up into his eyes. ‘Yes?’

‘Today has been wonderful. It feels good to just…’ He stops speaking and looks away.

Katie feels as though she knows what he was going to say and finishes his sentence, ‘be normal for a change?’

Will smiles softly and looks into her eyes. ‘That’s exactly it. Ever since all this began, I’ve felt like I haven’t been able to be myself. But being with you, I want to be nothing but myself.’

Katie’s entire body fills with warmth as her heart pounds faster. Without thought she throws herself at Will and holds him. Will wraps his arms around her and holds her tight. With her head buried into his chest she begins to weep. ‘I’m constantly scared for my life.’ She cries.

Will loosens his hug and softly caresses her cheek as he lifts her head to look at him. ‘I promise I will protect you, and everything you hold dear.’ He wipes a tear from her face with his thumb.

‘Thank you Will. For everything.’ She sniffs back her tears and embraces him once again. He wraps his arms around her again, one around her body the other holding the back of her head gently playing with her hair. He kisses the top of her head before letting go. Katie pulls away and stands beside him once again. They both look on ahead to the park. Will’s head fills with images from the night Leofric appeared and attacked them. He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. Katie spots his hurt and grabs his hand tight. From the shock of her hand Will jumps causing him to open his eyes quickly. He looks down at Katie’s hand holding his and smiles. ‘Do you want to make sure you get me home this time?’ Katie jokingly asks to lighten his mood. Will nods and smiles as they begin to walk through the park. Will’s head fills with thoughts about what he had just said. How could I make that promise to her? Who am I kidding? If it wasn’t for Vaelen that night, we both would be dead. Surely I should think about my own well-being first. But I can’t help but want to be there for this girl, she’s so innocent. What would the council want with someone like her? Furthermore what do they want from me? I’m a failure at everything I do. No I can’t think like that. I’ve been given this burden.
