    them? “Why me?” she asked. “Why did you pick me? What’s in it for you?” “I didn’t pick you,” Heath said. “I never planned anything like this. It just happened.” “But still,” Isla pressed, and her newfound freedom of mind was churning in her stomach, hoping he’d give the answer she wanted to hear. “You didn’t have to say anything, but you did. Why?” She kept her eyes on his and he drew in a breath before answering. “For the same reason I tried to kiss you. For the same reason I didn’t get on the bus.” His eyes flicked from her eyes to her mouth and back again. “It’s not something I can put into words. It’s like… cherry blossom. So beautiful but so fleeting. You want it to stay. And it’s selfish. Take you out of one cage put you into another.” A taxi pulling up to the kerb caught Isla’s attention and she watched as two teenagers got out and walked down the street hand in hand. She looked back into Heath’s unwavering eyes. “Maybe when you’re gone, I’ll go back into my old life,” she said. “Loving him with my eyes shut. It’s like a worn out dream.

Anyone walking by might have thought they were a couple. She could hear the lilting rhythm of a song coming from a nearby bar and laughter and conversation blended with the sounds of traffic. She suddenly wanted to do something reckless, be part of something crazy and unexpected, to go into the places that had never been ‘her scene’ only to see if she’d been missing out on something extraordinary. Heath pulled away suddenly and grasped her hand, something wild in his expression. He reached down and grabbed their bags in his spare hand. “Maybe we should go somewhere.” His eyes caught hers, unspoken questions and all the right answers passing between them. He pulled her to her feet. Barely ten metres away, there was a narrow alley between an Irish pub and a cheap diner. They stood a metre from the huge wheelie bins, making out like teenagers on borrowed time. Heath pressed her against the dirty brick wall, his knee between her legs and his lips silencing any hesitations. It felt rushed and unhurried at the same time.
