Sophie didn't know what to say. She didn't want the heartbreak again. She didn't want pain.
"I'm doing what?"
"This. Distancing yourself from me. Why?"
She was silent. She didn't want to be obstacle in his dreams. But she didn't want him to leave her either.
"I..."
"You what, Sophie?"
Instead of saying anything, she just kissed him. She expressed her emotions through the kiss. It was slow and gentle kiss. But there was raw passion and love burning behind it.
"I don't want you to leave me too." She whispered, breaking the kiss.
She didn't want to cry but a lone tear betrayed her and escaped her eye.
Archer kissed her tear away.
"I won't leave you, Sophie. I can't leave you."
"Why? I'll just be an obstacle in pursuing your dreams."
"But you are the one from where my dream begin with. You are my dream, Sophie. You always have been."
"I love you, Archer."
"I love you too, Sophie."
