Chapter 25: How They Got Married(2)
It was that day Liam learned of Rory’s biggest fear. He didn’t know that she is terrified of dark shadows. And as he tried to find a way inside her bedroom, he was welcomed with a BB gun pointed right at his eye.
Since their properties are very close to the woods and since there are farm animals, they’d often get visited by wild animals. Sometimes wild hogs enter their properties in groups to cause damage. So they always had weapons handy.
But since they were underage, they weren’t allowed to have "real" guns then. They were taught to use BB guns for defense though. And Rory... she is a pretty good shot. Derick taught her and she loved shooting. There was once an attack of wild boar on their property. They were of legal age to carry then. Rory got a pretty good shot of a wild hog. His grandmother was very pleased and hailed her as a hero. They then ate that pig.
He, who was expecting to have his first kiss before he dies, got terrified. He surely didn’t want to die with a BB lodged in his eye. He was so terrified, that he couldn’t even shout.
But thankfully, she recognized him and let him inside through the window. The first thing she did was punch his arms for scaring her. But he was the one who got terrified! He was the one who almost died!
He started to laugh, but she covered his mouth with her hands. ’Don’t shout! Grandma would wake up...’ she whispered.
He still remembered that pleasant scent... She still uses the same hand cream.
He was excited to be inside her room. Although he knew her for many years then, he had never entered her room before. She frequented his home often and he rarely visited her. This is the first girl’s bedroom he had ever entered.
He was pleased although he was sure that he won’t be able to enter her room again.
He wanted to die, after all! He wanted to make good use of this chance and looked around.
