time passed after the epic memory of what happened between sarah and Jacob in the museum and she kept on reminiscing on what had happened and replaying every word that Jacob had said to her the way he looked at her the way he made her feel so alive. and sarah being well aware that what she was doing had consequences took off one afternoon when nobody was watching and she found herself walking towards a small café downtown that Jacob had mentioned to her in one of their previous conversations her heat kept perputating on her way there and then she finally got there she opened the door and low and behold she saw there sitting by the window her prince in shining armour looking depressed and seeking the presence of his charming princess then their eyes collided and Jacob being very shocked to see sarah said''what are you doing here and sarah replied saying ''I dont know'' with a very faint tone and further said ''I just wanted to see you'' for a while they were speechless, standing while adoring each others company then they finally sat down to have a heartfelt conversation, they kept on talking for about an hour they both appreciated their presence and they talked about their various goals and dreams which they had and how they wished to achieve them that meeting was an avenue for them to let loose and feel free from the pressures around them. their meetings became rather more frequent, they could hardly stay apart from each other from the stolen half an hour in the park to the chance encounter at the market to the walk along the river where the city lights shimmered on the water each time they snuck out to meet each other their bond became stronger than ever birthing about a love that they both knew was forbidden. but sarah didnt know that secrecy will later pay its price, one day sarah was challenged by natasha and her friend boldly accused her of lieing to her and being so secretive about what has been going on with her lately with her and sarah had no choice but to confess and tell her about her secret meetings with Jacob then natasha pulled sarah closer and embraced her and told her that she understands how she feels, how Jacob makes her feel alive and all but knowing what is at stake and the feud between your families its all for your good if you stay away from him and sarah replied her saying sadly ''I will try'' knowing fully well that she was going to follow her heart then natasha told her to promise her that she will be careful and sarah responded by nodding in affirmation. meanwhile Jacob faced persecutions of his own from his elder brother Daniel when he decided to tell him about their secret meet ups he said ''you cant be serious'' then Jacob remained silent and his brother continued by telling Jacob about how sarahs family is rich and powerful how they could go to any extent to make them miserable and Jacob sighed in disbelief and told his brother that ''she is worth it'' then Daniel stared at him and shook his head saying ''God help you both''. their secret love affair continued in the quiet corners of the world away from prying eyes they had almost built their own world at this point, one of those nights, they met at a secluded garden behind the whole library a place forgotten by the most sarah leaned unto Jacobs shoulder with their hands held to each other and sarah said so faintly ''i dont know how long we can keep this up'' then she went on saying that ''sometimes i feel like we are standing on the edge of a cliff'' Jacob pressed a kiss to her hair and whispered ''then lets fly instead of fall' 'her heart ached at the simplicity of his words and that was the moment she knew that no matter what she would still choose him over anything, then they shared a passionate kiss a kiss that carried all their longing, defiance, and all the promises they couldn't yet speak aloud. The world always had its way of coming their way one afternoon. As Sarah wanted to sneak out to see her mysterious lover, she saw her younger brother Charles on the way, and her brother stopped her and asked Where are you going? And she answered, saying she was going to see Natasha, and he looked at her with a suspicious face, knowing something was off, and asked no further questions. Back at the workshop Jacob was working when suddenly one of his closest childhood friend joseph just popped by to see him they had not seen each other for years and he was in the neighborhood and decided to pay him a visit and they exchanged pleasantries and decided to catch up on all the whole chit chat they had missed then Jacob told him about his secret lover and he was happy to hear about it and he said to Jacob ''you are wreckless'' but as long as you want to do this I got your back and Jacob smiled knowing how precious it was having someone on his side in this crucial moment. Their secret world was fragile held together by stolen hours and whispered vows yet to Sarah and Jacob, it meant everything every risk they had to take every lie they had to tell it was all worth it for the moments they had together for the first time in their lives they felt so free; they were not whitmore and hale anymore but just sarah and Jacob. But the world was slowly waiting for the moment when their little secret would be brought into the light.
