Out of all those days .
He hadn't once heard a name .
There was nothing there to give him a hint .
Everyone had just called out to her , they all knew who they were speaking to .
Except him .
He searched her face , amusement sparkling in her eyes .
" I don't know " .
" Of course you do " . She said . " What name comes to mind when you see me? "
Love .
A strange thought had crossed through his mind , but as soon as it was there , it was gone .
Maybe it hadn't been there to begin with .
He kept silent . Not knowing what to say .
She laughed . He realized . This was the first time he heard her laught .
" I have a different name for you each day " . She said .
He gave her a puzzled expression .
" The first day I saw you , I thought , freedom " .
He remembered . The way the sun warmed him , its light enveloping him .
He remembered hearing his heartbeat , for the first time .
" The second day , I thought , A Little Pain ".
She had sat down with him . " Strawberries aren't really berries but bananas are " .
She seemed taken aback , a smile spreading from ear to ear . " You remember that? "
He rolled his eyes . " How couldn't I ? You ate my perfectly delicious strawberries " .
" It was only one , be a man about it " .
He scoffed . Followed by comfortable silence .
" In between seasons " . He said .
She looked up from her red palm . " What ? "
He looked into her wild brown eyes . " In between the seasons . That's what you remind me of " .
