Rooftop

-Come, I want to show you something.
We went up in the attic and I opened the skylight.
-Do you want to go on the rooftop?
-Why not?
-It's dangerous.
-You just need to pay attention. I'll go first, follow me.
I climbed out and reached out with my hand to help her.
She took it, hesitantly, and I pulled her up.
-I'm not at ease. Can we go back inside?
-Wait. Come first.
We climbed to the highest point, and we sat.
-Look at the view. Don't you like it?
She raised her head and looked up for the first time. The orange of the sky reached her eyes.
-Thank you.
