Love Began with the First Meeting

As they rolled down, Brian tried to find a way to free Molly so she would not be hurt further. It was difficult to look around with his eyes red and swollen. But if Brian didn't do anything, they would end up in the bottom and perish.

As a final attempt, Brian stuck out his free arm to grab a trunk and managed to break their fall. Now the two of them were swinging back and forth, but a dead trunk could only hold them so long. The brittle lifesaver broke before Brian could reinforce himself and the two rolled down again.

They were now rolling at hair-raising speed. Brian didn't give up clawing around to save them both. Suddenly, he spotted a huge rock down below.

His face hardened because they were about to slam into the rock in seconds. Brian held Molly closely and shifted so it was his back that would hit the rock. A heavy thud signaled the end of their fall. The tremendous impact sent a sharp pain in his abdomen, and his mouth tasted of blood.

He spat out blood, then quickly checked Molly to make sure she didn't suffer serious injuries. He smiled as he stared at Molly lying in his arms. "I told myself before I came that I had to kill you if you didn't confess everything to me. It was the only way I knew to wipe you out of my mind. Otherwise, you would be the only woman I want to spend the rest of my life with," he said with a groan.

Blood was gushing from his abdomen and spattered on his lips. Everything that happened was weirdly beautiful and dangerous.

Ignoring the pain, Brian held Molly more closely. For so long, he had been expecting romantic love similar to what Richie and Shirley shared. He initially thought he would find that with Becky. But then Molly came into the picture. Reality proved him wrong. It's only been two months since he met Molly, but he couldn't stop thinking about her, and he had broken his rules because of her. He was like a kite with Molly controlling the string.
