Building courage

This time, this time Mojito was going to actually make it across the border. He knew was allowed, he wasn't going to get in trouble but that didn't make it any easier to build up the courage to actually do it... and he'd wimped out more than once already.

But not this time, no he was going to do it if it was the last thing he did! Taking a few deep breathes and swallowing the lump that was forming in his throat. Then he screwed his eyes closed and took one step, then another and when he opened them again he was on the other side of the marker. Now that he was on the other side it was much easier, his legs carrying him forward as if all the nerves he'd had to work to had been nothing... maybe he had just been a bit too worked up?
