he didn't stop pursuing her. he didn't muss a day without going to that place. he didn't gave up on finally making her laugh again. he never stopped believing she can comeback to her old self again. he can see it coming and one day she will be full again.
and when her first radiant smile appeared, when the velvety laugh rang in his ears again and when her eyes held those mix of fiery emotions, he can't stop staring at her. more when she held his hands and enclosed it with hers.
"hey. you can speak now."
"did you. . .did you just-"
"yes, i did."
another round of laughter sounded off the surrounding and he pulled her in his arms and he hugged her tightly. the smile on his face was plastered but the moment he hugged her, he can't see.
her smile fading, eyes blank and the facade disappearing.
