Chapter 245: The Ride
The next day, Viviana was not feeling very good. Her mind was disturbed by various thoughts. She took a walk around the house. She heard the bell toll from the distance.
Her heart yearned to visit St. Michael’s Church. As far as she knows, Father Flannagan was staying in one of the buildings in the church grounds. She wanted to visit him to check on him.
Talking to him will clear her mind. She felt like she was standing at the edge of a cliff with no way forward. But Father Flannagan would always find a path for her.
She missed him so much. She was terrified of the surgery. She still didn’t trust Leander very much regarding the surgery. Visiting the church, sitting silently in the pew, praying, will certainly give her a peace of mind.
She gathered her courage and went to Leander to tell him that she wants to go to the church. But Leander asked her to get ready. He looked very excited.
Viviana didn’t tell him about her wish and did what he asked of her.
"Ta-da!"
Leander made an exaggerated reveal as she stepped out of the house. Viviana was surprised enough that her eyeballs popped out.
"Is that a Ducati?" she asked. She was about to ask him why he bought some expensive motorbike out of nowhere but then she remembered casually mentioning wanting to ride a motorbike.
"Oh, you did not..." she said caressing the shiny motorbike. "Do you even know how to ride it?"
"I can ride a bicycle... It’s the same, right?" Leander shrugged.
Viviana gulped. She does not know much about bicycles either. But shouldn’t there be a difference? One has a powerful engine and so it must be handled differently, right?
