The streets of downtown Paracas were still busy. Dancers had gathered under the fairy lights to juggle and make music. It was a wonderful, liberating atmosphere. Some vendors were still standing behind their stalls selling hot food and sweets. You had to pause for a moment and soak up the living spectacle with all your senses. Your thoughts carried you back to your imprisonment, where you could only have dreamed of being in the here and now - free. Among all the people who celebrated life. But especially ...
When Law saw you had stopped, he turned around. His eyes shone brighter than the lanterns that made his skin shine so terribly golden, especially in contrast to his blue sweater. Unsure about your strange reaction, he buried his hands in his pockets and waited patiently.
"I had to acknowledge that briefly."
"What?"
You made an extravagant gesture. "All that."
Law followed your hand movement and after briefly paying attention to the spectacle, he smiled. "I see."
"Where are you going?" You asked.
"I would like to show you something."
You hesitated for a moment and it did not escape him. "I would like to win your trust."
His words were like a stab in the heart. Did he really just say that? As your face lightened, you could see the flash in his eyes. It still provoked a reaction in him when you were pleased.
You walked down the streets towards the residential areas. After a while you left the background noise behind you and only the chirping of the crickets accompanied. As the silence grew, so did the tangible tension between your bodies. You longed so much to touch him. While he was walking a little way in front of you, you took the time to look him up and down. The long, elegant legs, the broad shoulders, the straight, proud posture, the artistic contrasts of his entire appearance. Suddenly you felt puny. What did you want here with him?

 What did you want here with him?

He stopped. Suddenly he picked up a stone and threw it very far into the mountains. In the next moment he had grabbed you by the collar of your leather jacket and before you could blink, you were standing on a viewing platform, which allowed an impressive view of the skyline of the trading city.
You shook yourself "You are welcome to warn me next time."
"But I like it when you look so surprised," he said blankly and sat on the cliff. He patted his hand next to him and invited you to join. You screwed up your eyes before completing his request.
"That's a nice view," you noted.
"Hmm," he said while looking sideways at you. You played with your hair.
"So?"
He took a deep breath. "I do not want you leave."
"Law ..."
"Let me finish. It's not easy for me." He took off his hat and nervously ran his hand through his hair. "The reason I don't want you to touch me is ... because I ... what you could see could scare you."
You had to smile "I've seen a lot."
"I know." He leaned back slightly and looked up at the sky.
"I don't want to force you to be clear," you said. "I also want to apologize - Aluca clarified the past incident to Amarie and me. I didn't treat you fairly, especially after you ... saved my life. "
Law was still looking up at the sky. "You saved mine too."
"Then we are even." You had to laugh.
Law shook his head. "I should have told you... I'm used to everything going the way I want it to. That I'm in control If that's not the case, especially if I pull people in who... "He groaned in annoyance. You waited patiently for him to find the right words.
"I'm really not good at that."
"At what?"
