Tim POV: I would do anything right now to keep kissing Faith, but I knew I had to pull away before things eacalated too far. As she pulled away the lights flickered back on and I noticed that she had a tear rolling down her cheek. I used my thumb to wipe it away. "Oh, I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that. I didn't mean to make you cry." "No, it's not you it's just...Nevermind." "No please tell me." She looked down at the ground and wiped her eyes. "Can we go sit down?" She asked. "Of course." We walked back to the couch and sat down. I reached for Faith's hand. "Please tell me what's bothering you." She took a deep breath and ran her fingers through her hair. "I never told you the real reason why I moved here, did I?" I shook my head no. "Well, I was married before too." "You were?" "Mhm...about a year and a half ago me and my husband Rick were out celebrating the news that I was pregnant and later that night we got into a bad car wreck. It killed him and I miscarried the baby." "Oh ny gosh Faith, I'm so sorry. I had no idea..." I started to say. "Everywhere I went in my town remined me of that night. So I just had to get away. I needed a new start. And that's why I moved here." "I'm so sorry sweetheart...I...I don't even know what to say. I couldn't even begin to imagine going through something like that." I said. I gave her hand a little squeeze then I got up and grabbed her a tissue. "I wasn't crying because you kissed me, I like kidsing you. It's just...I still miss him, a lot." "I'm sure you do, that's a tough thing to go through... Faith, I would completely understand if you werent ready to jump into a new relationship so soon." "No, I want to move on now, and I know Rick would have wanted me to move on. It's just that I need someone that understands that I'm still going to miss him. I don't think there will ever be a time when I don't miss him." "I understand that. And thats ok, you have every right to miss him." I said. Seeing her cry like this broke my heart. I had no idea that this beautiful, happy woman had been through so much. She looked up at me with her tear filled eyes. All I could do was hold her and try to comfort her. I'm sure some people may have seen this as a terrible end to a date, But not me. Holding her and letting her cry on my shoulder like this made me realize that I had a purpose. All this time I've been living day to day not looking forward to anything, but now I knew that my purpose was to care and love Faith. I never thought I could have feelings like this on a first date, but I did. I was falling fast, but I was completely ok with that.
