sweater weather

the boy leaned over and handed her the the striped sweater he had been wearing. she smiled as she pulled it on.

"i love you, beautiful." he said.

the girl only shook her head, now wanting the heavy wool to be as far away as possible.

"no you dont. why would you say that?"

"cause it's too cold for you here and now so let me hold both your hands in the holes of my sweater."

one time the boy told her he loved her. and that she was beautiful. but he had lied. if she was truly beautiful, then he would have stayed because their love was too strong.

“i guess it wasn't.” she said out loud. she said it outloud because alice thought things sounded better that way. thats what he had told her anyways.
