Leading Saya

Saya swung the pack over her shoulders suddenly in a rush, with a second though of regret while hoping the belongings and items didn’t tussle because of it. With the excess cloth she wrapped it around her shoulders and tied a second knot so that it was secure and would remain so during the ride. “Yes, that idea is probably best. The faster we get there, the better for us both.”

She walked to him; first placing both hands firmly on his shoulders, then second, moved upwards, with the wrapping of her legs resolute around his waist.. A successful piggyback position.

“How’s this?”

By now, the wind had only settled for the worst. The surrounding grasslands churned against it. Tree’s swayed with their restless leaves seething in utter motion of a thousand brushing noises. Gene’s idea, indeed, was not a bad one for she too couldn’t wait to soak and dip into that hot spring.
