Paradise by Kaitlyn Garlets (best books to read for self improvement .TXT) 📕

smile, but he isn’t looking at me. He is looking at the ground, knowing that if he looked at me, he would start crying, and I know how much my dad doesn’t like to cry.
I can feel Link’s heart racing as I backup without taking my eyes off of my dad. He grabs my hand and I rest my head on his shoulder as he walks us to the gate separating the yard from the sidewalk.
I don’t care if I leave everything I have back at home because I didn’t even need any of that. I didn’t need any money or clothes or food or anything where I was going. I didn’t need anything but Link and myself, then I would be fine.
I lifted my head up to take one more look back at my house that I was leaving behind and I saw my dad on his knees, crying, his fists clenching. I felt a pang of guilt inside me, and I knew that Link felt the same way.
“Link, what are we going to do? What is this going to do to us?” I ask, looking into Link’s beautiful blue eyes. I sigh when he looks at me. I just love the way he looks at me.
Link shakes his head. “I don’t know, Paradise. I don’t know. I just thought you would want to find out more about yourself or something. We cannot just run from this.”
I nod.
Yeah, I know. But I somehow deep inside I really don’t want to know and I just want to have a regular life. Don’t you? I ask.
He nods, knowing exactly what I mean. Yes, I do. But you know that isn’t going to happen. But what if we did have a regular life? We wouldn’t know each other and we would fall in love with different people and never know who we really were supposed to be. What about that? Link says, as I frown and think about it.
“I don’t know. I think that we would run into each other anyways.”
“What do you mean?” Link asks, frowning as he thinks.
We are walking down the street in the middle of the night, holding each others hands. It felt so great.
“I mean that I think that our relationship is more than an attachment. If we were meant to be together, then we are and I think that we are. So if we are meant for each other, then we would find each other no matter what.”
Link smiled and we stopped in the middle of the street and kissed me. I hadn’t kissed him since the last time we saw each other, which was almost a whole year ago and it felt like the first time that we ever kissed.
