A romance between two lovers destined for each other, even though they refuse to admit it.

" why do you think you're here after all that happened?," He questioned her softly.

Suddenly his presence was threatening to her once again. She watched him with wary alarm as he stood up and moved slowly towards her, not for the first time Rachel's mind seemed at loss to understand the situation and how to deal with it. She closed her eyes as she felt his presence behind her.

"Rachel," he tenderly said, " you're still here because you need me, to be clear you lov-"
