(The Wisp Sings - Winter Aid)He looked everything but peaceful as he leaned up against that tree, scribbling in his sketchbook.
"Hi," I had said.

I see us in a clearing, him trying to hide the way he kept looking at me. I kept twirling around. I think I wanted to impress him.
My heartbeat thumps quickly in my chest and I can hear it in my ears.
I see us sitting on the roof of an abandoned building again, our legs dangling over the side. Only, we're younger. Way younger. We look so innocent.
"Christian." He said.
"What?"
"Rogue. That's my name."
"Oh."
"Disappointed?"
I had shook my head. "Of course not. I think it's..."
"Don't say anything corny."
"Shutting up now." And he closed his eyes as if he were at peace.
I remember wanting to say that it was beautiful and he didn't have to hide it from me.
I see us in Leon's cabin. I see me asking him if we could go into town. He told me to wait outside and I did. Rogue comes out and he tried grabbing my hand but I pulled back from him. He hadn't wanted to hold my hand when we were in front of Leon.
"I do." He said.
"You do what?"
"Want to hold your hand," he mumbled. "I do."
I see us in front of a house—Ben's house.
"You said my name." I said.
"I said your name." He repeated.
"Twice."
"Mhm."
"I told you not to, ya know."
