The heat of my fingers left a slight fog on the glass as I retracted my hand.

Winter always has the best sunsets.

I opened the sliding door before stepping out onto the back porch and sitting down on the steps.

I took a cigarette from the pack that was in my pocket and put it between my lips. I lit the cigarette before taking a long drag of it.

I heard the door behind me open with footsteps soon following. I turned and saw him.

I smiled at him before turning back to look at the sunset.

He sat down next to me and and placed a hand on my knee, gently caressing it.

"What did the doctor say?"

Suddenly remembering, this memory in the making soon turned sour.

"Are you sure you wanna know?" I looked at him with a nervous expression.

"Of course. Your problems are my problems." He replied with a small smile.

I took a deep breath and sighed before starting.

"I have... Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis."

"'Drug-Resistant'?"

"Yeah. I need stronger treatment and it would take 2 years to cure. But the treatment's also toxic. He says only 50 percent of people recover from it."

"That's... That's terrible."

"You're tellin' me! Of all the fuckin' diseases!"

I put my face in my hands as the tears started to well up.

He put a hand on my shoulder before saying, "Hey."

I looked up at him and he continued.

"We're going to get through this. You are going to survive this. Do you understand?"

The tears started flowing like a broken dam as I threw my arms around him and buried my face in his chest.

"Yes."
