"Tate" Violet tried to steady her shaky voice as she called to him. He appeared infront of her, his face looking gentle and surprised. He walked toward her slowly, almost like he was trying not to spook an animal. "Violet?" he asked quietly. "Tate, I" Violet stopped and looked into his eyes. All she could see was hope and confusion. She slowly reached out and put her hand on his chest. He was wearing his yellow and black stripped sweater that she loved so much. He took a small daring step towards her and she did the same. He slowly leaned in towards her and his soft lips, kissed her cheek. Then he made his way to her lips. It felt like she had finally had a sip of water after months of being deprived of it. His arms were strong and conforting around her. Tate pulled away and looked into her eyes. "I love you" he smiled. "I love you too" she wispered back. Tate reached into his pocket and pulled out his head phones and phone. They sat down across from each other on the floor and Tate handed her an ear bud. Nirvana's song Come As You Are started to pump through the ear buds. He stared into her eyes like he always had, with a sole piercing gaze that practicly cut her in half. She could look away, it was like she was in a trance.
