Chapter Five(19)
Cecy took a deep breath. And it was not totally a lie, for the images were to vague and distant to describe even if she had wished to.

They kept climbing towards the light. Up, up, up, and after a while Cecy couldn’t look down anyway, for they have reached the height of a eight-floor building.
It was a brief silence, neither of them speaking, until the sunlight became brighter and brighter, and they emerged onto a narrow platform next to the window.
Will closed his eyes for a second, as if visioning where they were going, as he had just told Cecy. Then he opened them, as if realising something. ‘You can try.’
Cecy had already closed her eyes, and was trying to vision the place they had just been in. The terrace slid into her mind, and she could see the pouring rain, hear the rumbling thunder. She heard Will’s voice hazily as if through a veil, and imagined herself standing beside the gold-colored railings, her hair whipping in the wild wind.
