I wasn’t sure she was even breathing.
For a minute, I inhaled her in. Feeling the heat of her body burning into me more and more with each second that passed between us. Leaning in, just inches away from the back of her neck, I let my breath brush against her ear.
My head spun in a whirlwind of feelings, and I allowed myself to get lost in them.
In her.
I could sense that her eyes followed the movement of my strong arms as they came around her body. Skimming the sides of her ribs, I caged her in against my torso.
My scent.
“What happened to us?” she asked, but I wasn’t surprised by the question.
The waves began crashing into the rocks and shoreline, creating more of a sense of havoc all around us.
Ignoring her question, I asked my own. “Why did you leave me?”
She jerked back, not expecting me to rebuttal with that. “You answer my question first.”
“That’s not fair.”
“Life’s not fair, or we wouldn’t be stuck here.”
She shrugged, backing away. “I just needed a change of pace.”
“From me?”
“No. Yes. I don’t know. We were so young.”
“And why is that so bad?”
“It’s not. You’re being unfair.”
“Really? Because I think I’m being pretty damn reasonable, considering I loved you more than anything.”
She winced. “Sam, this isn’t about you. It’s about me. Things change, people change.”
“And why is that so bad? Change is a good thing. It’s what keeps life interesting and exciting, and I wish you would see that.”
My thoughts.
My words.
My emotions.
They all seemed to intertwine with one another, pushing and pulling like a game of tug-of-war.
“What do you want from me?”
I didn’t hesitate to reply. “Everything.”
“What does that even mean?”
For a minute, neither one of us said another word. We just stood there, deeply staring into each other’s eyes. He was the first to break the silence, speaking with conviction, “I’m still in fucking love with you.”
“AND CUT!” B. Night shouted. “That was perfect!”
Our gazes were cemented together, and it was hard to separate fact from fiction.
