Bear Grylls Quote

The next night was New Year’s Eve, and I made a secret plan with Shara to meet her outside the back door on the stroke of midnight.Let’s take a walk, I suggested.Sure. It’s midnight, minus five degrees, and pitch black, but hey, let’s walk. She paused. But not up Loyal, she added, smiling.And so we walked together along a moonlit track., I told myself.But plucking up the courage with a girl this special was harder than I had thought.Twenty yards became two hundred yards. Then two thousand. Forty-five minutes later, she suggested that maybe we should turn around and head back to the house.Yes. Good idea. I replied.And so I did.A quick kiss on the lips, then a longer lingering one, and then I had to stop. It was sensory overload., I thought, smiling from ear to ear.Let’s head back, I confirmed, still smiling.I am not sure Shara was quite as impressed by the effort-to-reward ratio--long cold walk to short, hot kiss--but as far as I was concerned the sky and clouds had parted, and nothing would ever be the same again.
