A small frown set upon Carter’s face when Asa admitted he didn’t want to answer all his questions yet. To be honest, he hadn’t thought about it. “Oh... but there will be a time. If not with me, you’re going to land up speaking about it with somebody else” he said knowing the truth would eventually come to the front line. History had a way of repeating itself and he knew things would be different now. But that wasn’t going to stop him. “Maybe not. But I find it interesting. Studying others never holds my interest for long... but...” Asa had lived through all those timelines he’d been reading about. Maybe that was the door he’d been needing to open? He could imagine Asa walking down those old cobble streets and having fun. The thought brought a small smile to his face again. “I’ll study again tomorrow. I promise”.<br/><br/>He wasn’t sure how stepping back into the village would fair. But he was willing to face his fears and head back outside. Asa was right about not needing to worry. He knew his guardian wouldn’t allow anything bad to happen and the fact he’d been called ‘perfect’ made a fuzzy feeling stir within him. If only Asa knew the feeling held the same for him too.<br/><br/>Carter was filled with a mix of emotions about venturing off the estate. Tonight could go either way and he didn’t want anything bad to happen either. But he also wanted to spread his wings a little and was thankful that Asa wasn’t going back on his word. “Thank you” he said holding him around the waist a little tighter. “The street lights will be going on soon... come on” he gently withdrew his arms and took Asa’s hand instead.<br/><br/>His eyes scanned their surroundings and a sense of calm seemed to take over. There was a steady flow of traffic and the night life was thriving. Some shops remained open and the bars, pubs and other restaurants still had their doors open. He stayed close to Asa’s side and gave a slight pause whenever Asa’s fingers tightened around his hand. He wanted tonight to be something they both enjoyed.  -<i>The night is yours</i>- “Hmm...” he couldn’t remember much about the town from his past visits. He only remembered the pub... “Where do you normally go? If you were showing someone the sites... where would you take them?” He asked finding the lighting on the pavements like something from a movie. He loved the look of the old streets here. With Asa by his side, it felt magical. Nothing could take this night away from them.
