Days and months passed but Kim still never knew a thing about Davis.

"Davis, what do you look forward to everyday?" Kim asked, one day. Both of them were sprawled on the green grass, waiting for the sun to set. It was like a daily ritual.

Davis gave a small smile and pointed at the sky.

"You look forward to sunsets?" Kim's brows furrowed in confusion. Why can't he speak? Is he mute?

He shook his head, the smile on his face growing even wider. He gestured wildly at the sky and drew clouds in the air.

"Clouds. You look forward to clouds."

Davis nodded, got up and ran towards the forest. But before he let himself be engulfed by the darkness in the forest, he turned around and blew her a kiss.

She caught it and placed it right where her heart should be.
