Brandon turned to her as the sound of her voice filled the silence between them.
"How long would it take?" She repeated herself, "To let someone go, to not feel the pain across your chest when you think of them?"
"It will take a while," he answered eventually, crossing his legs,
"Maybe days or months or even years," Brandon continued,
"But it will happen eventually."
She let out a sigh and closed her eyes for a short moment.
"What if I just can't let go?" She said in a quiet voice,
"If that's how it will be for me, then how am I going to live like that? Just how?"
