Joan drops Adam off and he runs inside.
"Brielle?" He says. He goes upstairs and finds Brielle curled up in a ball in her bed, crying. He rushes over to her and gets in her bed. She turns over and snuggles up to Adam.
"What's wrong, darling?" He asks wiping the tears away.
"I just feel so bad. I've been sick and we haven't done anything fun. I feel like I've become a burden to you." She sobs. Adam wraps his arms tighter around her.
"Oh, no, you haven't darling." He replies. He doesn't know what to say, so he just holds her in his arms until she drifts off to sleep.

Adam wakes up and it's pitch black in the room. Brielle is still snuggled up in his arms. He looks at Brielle and smiles. He can just see the outline of her face, but that doesn't matter to Adam. He just thinks she's so beautiful. His stomach growls, so he takes his pillow and wraps Brielle's arms around it, like it's him. He gets up and stammers down to the kitchen. He sits at the table and eats his leftovers, and then just stays there for a while, admiring the beautiful ring in his hand. All of the sudden, he hears Brielle coming down the stairs. He quickly closes the box and stuffs it in his pocket. Her eyes are squinty because she's trying to focus them.
"Adam?" She says.
"I'm here." He says. He gets up and goes to her. She wraps her arms around him and takes him in. His warmth, smell, love. Everything.
"I love you so much." She whispers. He smiles.
"I love you so much too." He whispers back. He lets go of her a little, and for the first time in weeks, he bends down and softly presses his warm lips to hers.
