With a nervous laugh, he moved my hand away.
“What’s wrong?” I asked wanting to put my hand back.
“It’s just that…”
“What?”
“I’m engaged,” he said hesitantly.
I stopped and looked at him confused.
“You’re only engaged because he’s blackmailing you.”
“I know.”
“So, what’s the problem? You don’t owe him anything.”
“I know,” he said racked with guilt.
I rolled off of him.
“I don’t want you to stop, though.”
“Well, I don’t want to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.”
“I don’t know why I’m like this,” he said disappointed.
“It’s because you’re a special guy. That’s why I love you.”
“I love you, too,” he said with a smile.
Staring into my eyes, he sat up and kissed me.
“I love you,” he said.
“And I will always love you. We’ll stop him. I promise.”
Lou curled into my arms.

Some of the lights were easy to avoid. Some were not. I held his hand as we walked. Even in the dark, I wondered if someone looking out their window could see us. The full moon made it a bright night. But making it to the end of the property, we entered the trees.
“Ya know, this has to be the most romantic caper ever,” I suggested.
“Caper?”
“What would you call it? What we’re doing isn’t a crime. There’s nothing illegal. But it definitely feels dangerous.”
“I’d call it, righting a wrong,” Lou said determined.
“So it’s more of a superhero thing? You’re so right. I can see that now.”
