Episode Forty-Six: If I Fall

"Thanks to you my whole day is shot, I’m at least going to see the sights," Sebastian said, getting out of the car and then he stopped at her door, tapping on the glass.

Avalon adjusted the strap on her black sundress and followed him part of the way to the cliff’s edge. She watched him chillingly scale a boulder right on the precipice.

"It’s nice up here;" she half-shouted to him as she removed a pebble from her sandal. "I’ve never left the city before, it’s so quiet, it’s almost eerie."

Sebastian laughed at her from up on his perch. "Yeah, well, I’ve always said, there but for the grace of god, Bambi might’ve been Norman Bates. So, why don’t you come up here? It’s a much better view."

"It’s nice down here." Ava brushed him off. "We should get going."

He nodded his head as if in agreement, yet this being Sebastian, totally not agreeing at all. "Here, grab my hand, I swear you won’t fall- hey, if I can trust you..."

Ever since that first time he swaggered into the store there was something about him that scared Ava half to death. Then there was this part, the part that was at her house on New Year’s Eve and blotto on the lawn at the party. She found herself dangling over great heights with Sebastian’s arms coming from behind, wrapping around her slim waist.

"The water is so-o-o-o, whoa-a-a!" Ava began and felt herself falling forward.
