70 Did you kill her?!

He returned and Talia shyly peeked out from the tree she hid behind and caught the jacket he threw at her. 

Their eyes locked as she caught it in her hands and they blushed, looking away. 

She turned and put on the Jacket, zipping it up. It was Jephthah's and since he was much taller than her, it stopped way above her knees but was modest enough to cover her thighs as she meekly stepped out from behind. 

As she walked out, Jephthah took in her presence. Flushed face, swollen lips and huge eyes with a bright glint in them. 

"Aren't you… cold?" She asked as they walked side by side, her hand buried deep in the pockets of the jacket. 

"I'm okay. What… about you?" He asked with a shy look when she turned to him. 

She suddenly grabbed his warm hand and he felt her small cold hand in his and reflexively wrapped his hand tighter before he blushed, realizing what he just did. 

"I'm better now." She smugly said and he redenned.
