'An Exception'

It seemed to me that lately, that my life was revolving around Tyler.

'I hope everything goes right with the ritual and we can be happy just how we are now.'

A park date was an undeniably sweet idea. To fit the mood, I put on a nice pink crop top and blue high waist shorts. I brushed my hair and let it down, just how Tyler liked them.

It was decided to meet at 9 pm but since I missed him, maybe a little excessively, I ended up heading out 20 minutes sooner. The park was merely a 10—minute stroll from my place, so I guessed it was not a bad idea after all.

I had my earbuds in, and the night wind fluttering my hair, felt good and somewhat cold against my skin. As if summer was kissing me goodbye.

My attention abided my gentle strides and the delightful melodies touching my ears.

Without a notice, fingers delved deep in my arm as someone abruptly yanked me and placed a rag over my mouth catching me off guard.
