One last time she looked into his deep blue eyes, and then she turned and left the passport control behind. Why did everything have to be so complicated? Well, she was only sixteen. Gregory had two years to find the amulet and get rid of his immortality if he didn't want to be in a relationship with an older woman. Last night after his confession, Gregory suddenly pulled her close whispering in her ear "If this is our last night together for some time 'babe' let’s do it right. You have to kiss me like you mean it. Then we have to do something totally crazy, so you won’t forget about me." They decided that moonlight swimming in December at a temperature of about 10 degrees was crazy enough. After that, they were so cold, their bodies numb from the cold, that they had trouble warming up again the whole night, and she still had some sand in her shoes.
Thinking back on last night had a smile creep onto her face, despite the impasse of his immortality, he would find a way out of this misery. He always did!
The situation might seem hopeless, but their story was far from over…
