Synopsis

The warm evening breeze entered the open car window carrying Ally’s perfume to Harry’s nostrils. His heart raced as the familiar scent filled his head and stirred his soul. He closed his eyes for a second and held in the feeling, he felt warm, secure, safe, and loved inside.

Taking one hand off the wheel he reached for the opened box of cigarettes on the dashboard in front of him and settled himself back in the deep soft leather seat. Without taking his eyes from the road he removed a cigarette and placed it between his dry lips, tossing the remainder back onto the dashboard.

The unlit cigarette hung limply from his lips as he struck a match and married them together. He drew long and slowly on the cigarette before offering it to Ally who sat next to him. Her head in a book, her long legs stretched out and bare feet crossed at the ankles rested on the dashboard, toes randomly wiggling too and fro. Ally took the cigarette from him without averting her eyes from the book, pursed it to her soft pink lips inhaling just enough to make the end of the cigarette glow and offered it back to him.

With a warm heart Harry drank in the vision that sat next to him. Here wide deep blue grey eyes shone as they intensely concentrated on her book. Her light summer dress complemented her slight figure. Her cute nose that randomly twitched now and again for absolutely no reason. He watched as she turned the page and then pushed her light brown hair behind her ear.

Her forehead creased curiously and pushing the book into her lap she looked toward Harry.

“What’s this word darling?” broke the moment and Harry leaned over to where Ally was pointing.

“Infamous” he answered, “It means being famous for a wrong or a bad thing.”

Ally returned to her book and Harry returned to his cigarette smiling to himself. Ally had come a long way with her reading he thought to himself as he reached under his trilby with his free cigarette clad hand and gently rubbed the soft tissue of his new scar. His smile broadened as he remembered the look on her face as she had unintentionally shot him a few weeks ago.
“What does infamous mean again Harry?” putting her book down on her lap again and turning her attention to him.

There was a pause, “Are we infamous?” she asked.

Harry pulled his hand from under his hat and sat upright, flicking the spent cigarette through the open window.

“I suppose we are.” Came Harry’s response.

Ally lifted her book back to her face “ok” she said and continued to read.
