Love Began with the First Meeting

Frowning, Brian surveyed the area with eagle-eyed precision. Thick branches blocked his vision. He turned around to check on the exhausted Molly and remembered it would be impossible for her to make it. He cursed inwardly for not considering her state as he planned their way out.

"Let's take a break, okay?" he told Molly. He knew how dangerous it could be to stop in an area where they were exposed, but Brian was more worried about Molly than he was for himself.

Molly nodded as she was really spent. Her legs were heavy. She slumped into a rock and had no energy to talk.

Standing beside Molly, Brian continued to inspect their surroundings. He thought Howard was conceited. But what about himself? Was he not the same way?

All of a sudden, Brian instinctively moved his head as he sensed a bullet whistling towards them. He dropped down to the ground and pushed Molly to take cover. The first bullet narrowly missed them. Brian fired his weapon to retaliate. He heard another shot fired from their left side.

Without thinking, Brian jumped to Molly's side to cover her and fired again. He kept Molly pressed close to him.

Gunshots were still ringing in her ears. Molly was holding her breath, for fear of being exposed to more gunfire. It was a great relief to feel Brian shielding her with his body. She believed that he would not let her get hurt. Molly trusted him with her whole heart and knew she could always count on Brian to protect her.
