�I..I think I love you.� Tears welled up in her eyes. This couldn�t end now. Not when it was getting so good. She had never felt this with anyone before.

�I think I love you too, but Maria I have to go. I wish I could stay but we�re leaving tomorrow.� He drew her into his arms and held her tightly to his chest. This had been the best summer, no scratch that, the best time he had ever had in his life and now he was leaving. Leaving to go back home. Back home to the tourist trap that was known as Roswell.

After a while she stepped from his embrace. �Will I ever see you again?� She did not look into his eyes for fear of seeing uncertainty reflected in them.

�God I hope so.� Was his honest reply.

She closed her eyes and stepped back into his arms.

�Is this the end?� She cried into his shirt.

�No. It�s just the beginning.�
