The sun began to set as my thoughts went silent and my vision went cloudy. The words that came out of his mouth were not ones I expected.

"What?"

He looks at me with concerned filled eyes. He wraps an arm around my waist, pulling me closer and throwing his other arm around me when I'm close enough. I lean my head against his chest, trying to think.

"I...don't know." I say looking up into his eyes.

"But I am with you."
