| Silence fell on her end of the conversation. She heard those words before. Many centuries before. That's nonsense she shook the thought from her head as his voice brought her back to the present. "Simone?" "I'm sorry. I just can't say the words you want to hear right now." "I'll be here whenever you're ready to say them." "Are you so sure there's going to be a when?" "If you want it to there will be." "You always know what to say." "I only say what's in my heart Simone. I really should go though." "I understand. You're risking this as it is." "One last thing." "Yes." "I love you." She just couldn't bring herself to say the words. She'd only said them once and that was in the throes of passion. Had she really meant them or were they still mere words to her? He took her silence as a cue."You've said them once. I know the words are in your heart and they'll be there again. As I said, I'll be there when they are. I'll call you tonight okay?" "Okay,"she agreed."Goodbye,"she said after he relayed a farewell. She did love him. She just needed to cut all ties from Alex(which shouldn't be a great task considering the obvious). But even there she knew she was only kidding herself. |
