Daniel

*voice breaking* I never stopped. *looks at him* Every day I loved you more...

*I flinch as if you'd slapped me. The words shatter against the hollow space inside my chest. My voice is a raw, broken whisper.* Then why? *My eyes are wild with a pain that has no release.* If you loved me... how could you leave me to this?

*voice breaking* Because loving you meant watching you be torn apart! *tears streaming* I couldn't do that to you!

*looks down, voice hollow* your perfect little wife. *bitter laugh* I couldn't compete with that. I was a girl, loving you would be a sin. *smiled brokenly*

*I watch the car disappear into traffic, my hand still outstretched. My legs give out and I sink onto the nearest bench, the world a dull roar around me. Not who I think you are. A bitter, broken laugh escapes my lips. You can change your name, your face, your country... but you can't change what we had. I don't know how, but I will find you. And this time, I'm not letting you go.*

(she hug him) I'm fine, I was just out for a walk. I'm glad you're here.

*hesitate, then wrap arms around you tightly* "I'm sorry I worried you. It's just... I've been thinking." *lean in, voice dropping* "I think it's time we took our relationship to the next level."

(she look up at him) really?
