The Leap

"Only the mad get to fly."

Halfway home, Isha suddenly veered off the paved road, crashing her cycle straight into the soft grass beneath the railway bridge. "Madness!" Sid shouted, braking hard and skidding to an abrupt halt beside her. "Boring people stay on roads, Sid," she laughed, chest heaving, eyes dancing with uncontainable mischief. She grabbed his sleeve, pulling him down into the tangled clover. The distant rumble of an evening train rattled overhead, drowning out the world. In that split second of roaring chaos, she tilted his chin up. "See?" she whispered against his lips. "Only the mad get to fly."
