"I'll always be here."

"Really?" I asked.

Could she really promise me that? Would she really stay if she had the chance to leave?

"Really," she said. "Can I...can I touch your face?"

"Are you sure...that you want to?"

"I'm sure."

I stood up and she did too and came closer to me while looking down. I could hear her breathing so close was she to me.

She closed her eyes and reached up and touched my face. She touched my hair, down my neck, and on my chest.

"Will you do something for me?" she asked.

"Whatever you'd like," I said.

She lifted her head up towards me her eyes still closed.

"Kiss me."

Katherine

Saying goodbye to my dad was hard. But I knew I needed to make this move. The last few months had been hard. There had been whispered going around my job that the restaurant was bankrupt and going to close down.

But I had hoped so much that it was just a rumour. But then they announced that they were letting us go and I found myself without a job.

I didn’t want to move into my dad and stepmother’s house but I didn’t know what else to do. I was struggling to get work in the city. And I wasn’t even just searching for restaurant work.

And then my grandma died suddenly. It was a big blow because I was really close to my gran. And then my dad suggested I move to the small town my mother had grown up in and where my gran had lived. So with almost nothing in my bank account I packed up and said goodbye to my parents and took the long drive to the small town of, Peaks Valley.

When I finally arrived there after a very long drive I was exhausted. It was bittersweet walking through my gran’s home again, everything still looking just how she left it.

I stood in front of the pictures on the walls. There were some of my grandma and granddad when they were younger, their wedding photo, baby photos of my mother and one picture of my granddad, grandma and mother all together.

That one I stood in front of the longest tracing the outline of the mother I’d never known.

I yawned and decided to get ready for bed. Tomorrow I needed to start looking for a job.

Looking for work wasn’t as successful as I’d hoped. No one needed help and I guess because I was a stranger to them they were even less likely to give me a job. Though the town people were really nice and sweet.

And then as if luck I saw a poster on a window of a shop about someone looking for someone to work for them.
