I ached for her.

Did she ache for me?

Could she easily cope with the fact that we wouldn't be together?

I asked myself these heartbreaking questions as I lay dormant on my late mother's bed.

As always.

This wasn't happening, was it?

"No," I kept telling myself, "she would miss me too much, right?"

Maybe we could meet together in secret, or have more meetings about the war before we declared it?

Maybe?

I trembled.

Only a month of these meetings goes by, and she's already thought of a plan.

I have to stop this, I have to stop her.
