"Did you miss me," she said. "Depend on who you are," I replied. "You know who I am," "And who would that be?" "Your girl," she said. As usual, I shunned her away like I would anyone else. I was about to leave but she grabbed my hand, faced me and stared. Hugging me tightly and putting her head on my shoulder she said,"I love you, and only you." Again, she started to gaze into my eyes. But when I saw her eyes, they turned lighter and started to sparkle. She leaned towards me as did I. She held me closer than she ever had, and her hips close to mine, she asked me with her eyes closed and her hands around my neck,"X, do you love me?"
