FLASHBACK - X

Cuddling up into his arms, limbs wrapping you comfortably like a blanket, he picks up a book.

'Romeo and Juliet' read the cover.

"My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite."

"Isn't that a great line, baby?"

"Yes, it is, Jirongie." I tilt my head to the side, and smile against the woolly, maroon, sweater masking his chest.

"You know what my favorite line is from Romeo and Juliet?" 

Closing my eyes, I say breathlessly, "Which line?"

"'Do not swear by the moon, for she changes constantly. then your love would also change.'"  His deep voice frees me from the tangled mess of my mind, and his fingers entangled in mine.

"Jirongie, I have something to ask you." I shift a little to look him in the eye.

"Yes, Winnie?"

"Baby, you know I don't like that nickname." I whine, snuggling into him and wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Haha, I know, now what were you going to ask me?" Exhaling softly, and wrapping his arms around me, he seems to breathe out words, sounding light and wispy.

"If you had to list the things you loved, would you list me?"
