We Slept On Couches

“When did you realize you loved me?” Heidi asked, twirling a strand of Oliver’s hair, staring into his eyes. This was her lovesick version of food, she felt complete when she peered into Oliver’s soul.

Oliver sighed, rubbing a thumb over the back of her hand she clutched onto. Heidi stared at the countdown clock, only five minutes left until the clock went to zero. “The time when you told me you’d run away with me,” Oliver frowned, giving his Heidi somber eyes she could not argue with.

Blinking, Heidi felt the rush of dizziness hit her like a rock to the diaphragm. Sweat beaded down her neck, which she attributed to the venue, and the makeup. Yet, in the moment of such serious conversation and such dire circumstances, she released her toothy grin. “What are we waiting for?” Heidi queried.

Perching his eyebrow to a quizzical state, Oliver gripped her hand, pointing towards the large stage.
