Charles pulled back slowly and wiped off the tears on Aurora's face. "It's going to be alright," he assured with a smile.
Aurora nodded once. "Thank you."
Charles nodded once. "Can we hurry up and finish up? There's actually a business I need to attend to. But I will make it up to you later," he promised.
Aurora nodded once. "Alright, should we go now?"
Charles shook his head briefly. "Let's have a few minutes of dinner. I'm still taking you sightseeing, remember? We can go anywhere you want."
Aurora smiled. "Alright, I won't forget."
Within a few minutes, Charles and Aurora stepped out after Charles has settled the bill.
Charles made a joke and Aurora found herself laughing so hard, forgetting there was any problem in the world.
"Can I drop you off?" Charles asked suddenly.
Aurora released a sigh. "We were actually not able to sit very well for tonight. So, I would like us to take a walk instead. That is if you don't mind because you would have to leave your car here."
Charles smiled. "That's no problem actually. Let's do that. It's good anyways. We would be able to appreciate nature very much."
Aurora grinned. "You've been talking so much about nature. What would you have gone for if you weren't_," she hesitated and made a nod of her head.
Charles understood what she meant and laughed.
"Well, I've always been trained in the mafia ways since I was very young. I was taught to be strong and well, discrete and all others but," he stopped briefly and smiled. "If I was allowed, I would have been in space by now, you know studying anything nature."
Aurora nodded once. "That's actually a very nice profession. You would have been exceptional in it."
Charles smiled. "What made you think so?" He watched Aurora for a moment and noticed how she was rubbing her shoulder slightly. The breeze could have been getting too much for her.
Charles pulled off his jacket and covered Aurora in it.
Aurora smiled with gratitude and relaxed.
"Would you still be able to have your dream job if I offer to help you financially?"
Aurora smiled. "Maybe, maybe not. I've lost purpose on earth. Maybe I would have committed suicide if I hadn't seen you this morning."
Charles' heart made a sudden thud in his chest at this. He felt a slight pain and wondered how it would have felt if he discovered that Aurora was actually dead.
He knew he had to get Aurora before anything else. Yet, he wanted it to come naturally. He wanted to convince Aurora and even convince himself.
"Can you do me a favour, Aurora?" Charles stopped her suddenly.
She looked at him. "And what can that be?"
"Can I install something on your phone? Something that can show me your location? I mean whenever you feel like it. You just have to switch on your location if you want me to. Even if you are feeling down, just on your location and I will be there."
Aurora regarded him for a moment and saw the seriousness on his face. She liked the fact that Charles was showing her how much he cares.
