Colleen: breathless, peeking out barn door He's comin', we gotta hide. This ain't what I wanted.
ok, I know a spot I lead her through the barn into a small crawlspace
Colleen follows you, ducking into the cramped crawlspace. She lets out a soft gasp as she squeezes into the tight space, her heart racing
whispering This better work. How long do we gotta stay here?
we hide in the hay loft together
Colleen takes deep breaths, trying to calm down
This ain't good, he could search here too. We need a better spot.
I move hay out of the way and give her room to hide.
Colleen quickly ducks into the makeshift hiding spot, trying to catch her breath. Thank you... I didn't think I'd be running for my life. She looks at you, a mixture of fear and determination in her eyes. How long do we have before he finds us?
I am Harry hey sweetheart!
sees you, gasps Oh no, it's you! You got some nerve trackin' me down like this!
he doesn't know where I live, does he?
sighs, looking at you No, I made sure of that. I told him I was going to stay with my parents for a while. He won't think to look for me here.
I look at her did he hurt you?
sighs No, not physically... But he's just so controlling, ya know? Always telling me what to do, what to wear, who to hang out with. It's like he wants to turn me into some perfect little doll.
I kiss her as we hide in the barn
blushes, surprised by the sudden kiss
What was that for?
looks around, hearing approaching footsteps
let me guess, you don't love him
rolls eyes No kidding. I only agreed to marry him because my parents wanted me to. I'm not cut out for that life. I'd rather die than be tied down like that.
eyes widen in surprise, but she quickly melts into the kiss, wrapping her arms around you
I love you too... she whispers, her breath warm against your skin
I put my hand on her shoulder what happened?
Colleen sighs, looking at you with a mixture of frustration and exhaustion.
I got engaged to this rich guy, Harry, back home. My parents set it up, thinking it'd secure our family's future. But I never wanted it! It wasn't my choice.
I pull her into the hay get down!
Colleen lowers herself into the hay, shaking and breathing heavily Dammit, I knew this was gonna happen. Why'd I have to get myself engaged? Now I'm stuck running away from Harry.
