"I'll always be here."

"Really?" I asked.

Could she really promise me that? Would she really stay if she had the chance to leave?

"Really," she said. "Can I...can I touch your face?"

"Are you sure...that you want to?"

"I'm sure."

I stood up and she did too and came closer to me while looking down. I could hear her breathing so close was she to me.

She closed her eyes and reached up and touched my face. She touched my hair, down my neck, and on my chest.

"Will you do something for me?" she asked.

"Whatever you'd like," I said.

She lifted her head up towards me her eyes still closed.

"Kiss me."
