<span style="font-style: italic">"Now come on before we get sick from this cold"</span>said Anahita holding his hand into hers. Her hand was so soft and welcoming. Ithos felt a confidence filling his soul that he hadn't felt for years. They started walking on the boardwalk heading back to the village. It was a beautiful night. A little chilly maybe, but Ithos wanted this night never to end. He was with Anahita. After all these years he had found her again.<br/><br/>They were almost into the village when Anahita took Ithos out of his thoughts.<span style="font-style: italic">"So did you have a place to stay tonight or no?"</span>Ana's question hit Ithos directly, bringing him in a very uncomfortable situation. He hasn't been in this village for years. He didn't have anywhere to stay. But he couldn't say that. He didn't want to be a burden to anyone.<br/><br/>"Well, you know," Ithos cleared his throat at this point. "I have my very comfortable car! So no worries! I'll just turn my sit down, grab a blanked from the back and I will be ok in no time!" he said with a fake ensuring smile trying to get himself off the situation. After a while he stoped. "Well, my car is parked somewhere here." He held her silken hands. "Thank you for today Anahita. Can we meet again tomorow?" he says looking at her eyes and smiling kindly.
