Broken Promises

Short story

"We are all so broken. . ."

"I'm scared, Isaac," I whisper.

"Of what, baby girl?"

"Of losing you. I can't go through that again." Tears well up in my eyes and I fight hard to keep them back.

"I will never leave you." The emotion in his voice makes a single tear roll down my cheek.

"Promise?" He slowly lifts the arm that's not around me and gently wipes away the tear.

"Promise."

"I love you, Isaac."

"I love you too, baby girl. I love you too."
