Nottingham was wrecked. Every other building was collapsed and the rest were all smoke drowned. The sky remained a thick grey, and the tall building hid inside the clouds of smoke. The glass of every shop front was smashed, and many of them had been looted. We kept our weapons close by. The people around us were all wearing black hoodies and camouflaged trousers.

I stepped over to her and we hugged. I pulled back and she looked me in the eyes. Her tears streaked down her face. I wiped it with my thumb and kissed her. Her tears continued to fall as I kissed, and we didn't break apart.
"I'm sorry. I honestly am." I said, nearly on the verge of tears. I kissed her again as she began accepting my apology.
