After another 10 minutes of crying, Naomi asked Keith "what are we going to do? We don't look like ourselves. We don't even look human anymore. If anyone finds us then we'll probably be taken to some lab to be tested." Hugging Keith tighter she said "I don't want to be separated from you Keith."
"I know" he responded calmly. Thinking things through he finally came to a conclusion. "Naomi, I think we need to leave town."
"And go were, Keith? No matter where we go we look out of place" She responded
"No Naomi, I mean leave mankind behind" Keith said. Looking startled by what he had said, Naomi looked up at him. "You said it yourselves, we don't look human. So what if we find somewhere where we could be away from humans."
"What are you saying Keith?" she said with a slight fear in her now fox eyes.
"Naomi, I'm asking you if you are willing to start a completely new life with me" Keith said knowing it sounded like a marriage proposal. "We can find somewhere else to live, maybe a big forest, our own home or burrow. We can live of the wild and you can have Mack there." He said with slight excitement in his voice.
Shocked by all that Keith was proposing, Naomi's head started to overload. After waiting a few minutes for her answer, Naomi smiled. She loved Keith and now she could be with him forever.
"OK" she said smiling at him. They both fell into a deep hug in which time seemed to stand still. After what felt like an eternity, they let go.
Both Keith and Naomi spent the next 2 days planning out everything that they needed to do. Then when all the holes in their plan seemed filled they set out, towards their new lives.
