Chapter
nineteen: Ryan Meets Gracie:
It
was a boring day at E.L. (East London) University where Ryan was
teaching.
He had his eye on the chemistry teacher from Liverpool named Gracie.
She
was two years younger than him and beautiful. But because he had
negative
experiences with women, he was scared to talk to her. But that was soon
about to change!
It
was lunchtime when the incident happened. Ryan was fine until Gracie
sat
down. His stomach tied up into knots. “Come on, Frary go talk to her.”
one of the professors said to him. Ryan could barely speak. His throat
was so dry. He just shook his head.
One
of the ceiling beams was falling loose and it was over Gracie. When
Ryan
saw this he became worried. He hoped it wouldn’t fall. All through
lunch,
Ryan watched in fear. And then finally, it broke with a snap and fell
fast.
The professors and students watched in fear. Things would have been
terrible
for Gracie if Ryan hadn’t got up and quickly pushed her out of danger.
She looked up and saw Ryan kneeling in front of her. “You…. You saved
me!”
Gracie exclaimed breathlessly. Ryan didn’t know what to say. And from
there,
a lovely between Ryan and Gracie bloomed.
