What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
”What are you waiting for Arica?” a voice finally pierced through the fog. “We have to get out of here!”
The building was coming down around them, a part of her brain finally acknowledged. “Eric!” she cried out. And suddenly he was there, picking her up in his arms and running out of the building to safety. He made it as far outside as he was comfortable and lowered her to the ground, shielding her with his body as the building finally exploded, throwing shrapnel to the four winds.
She knew that when it was over, he stand up and ask her if she was okay… about what had happened in there… about her hesitation. She knew that he’d fall right into agent mode and takeover the scene until everyone else arrived… until the CIA was there to investigate and clean up. But in that one moment, when the world was going to hell around them, she felt amazingly safe. Maybe a bit smothered, but safe in the arms of love.
