" can i talk to you for a moment " i
said to harvey over the sound of the music.

his face displayed a smile and nodded.
our fingers interlocked and we
walked outside.

" what do you want to talk to me
about? " he asked.

my eyes filled with tears. what i'm
about to tell him could change my life.
he could step away from me and leave
me in the dirt or welcome me with open arms.

" tess? " he asked now looking
concerned.

i finally brought myself to look into
his eyes. a tear shot down my face but
i wiped it away quickly.

" kitt, i - " i started but paused for a moment. " the reason i was away for
so long was - " but the end of the
sentence didn't come out.

i couldn't bring myself to say
anything. only the attempt of words
formed.

" tess? " he asked once more but this
time was softer and more gentle.

my eyes looked longingly into his. my
mind was all over the place. but i
guess there is no turning back now.

" kitt, i have - " but there was another
pause. this time shorter. then the
word flew out of my mouth.

" cancer " i softly whispered.

letting go of harvey's hand, i knew this was the end of it all. turning
away, i felt harvey graby wrist causing
me to turn back. there were wet
patches under my eyes.

harvey stepped closer until we were a
few inches away from each other. his
hand was placed gently on my cheek.
his cold breath pressed against my
face.

seconds later, his lips were against
mine. he pulled away smiling at me.
i couldn't help but smile back.

" tessa smith. i don't give a shit if you
are thousands of miles away or have
cancer. you are tessa smith and i love
you " he whispered softy, tucking a
loose strand of hair behind my ear.

a smile crept upon my face. the words
that harvey just spoke made my heart
fill with happiness and joy. i can't
believe i was so lucky to end up with
someone like him.
