MUST LISTEN : Ailee "Evening Sky"

Kara

"Yes... we are, Angel."

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"It is... very. Just like you."

"And the fact that your room's all glowing in the evening sky..."

"Evening sky... Speaking of which, you haven't seen the Castle's tower yet, have you?"

And he stopped in their step and took her hand.

He knew it was breaking curfew, but who cared? He was a child again today. And that meant breaking the rules. Breaking the rules with his Kara. It was thrilling. And it was fun. And it was risky. But it meant that if they got into trouble, they would do it together.

The heavy oak door creaked open and Kara flinched at the noise.

"It's okay, Princess. Trust me. Take my hand, follow me. It'll be completely worth it."

Kara was unsure. She was often afraid of the dark. Her imagination was quite a wild and creative one. But then again, she remembered it wasn't her mind she should trust.
