Oh, God don’t let me hurt him. Am I really doing this?…
““Oh, God don’t let me hurt him. Am I really doing this? Here? Is this real? We’re in the middle of nowhere. No one is going to find us. Even the fire has gone out. He’s dead. I’m just beating on his body. My arms hurt. How can my arms hurt now? Blake. I can’t. I can’t be here without you. I’ve got to be positive. I have to know he’ll make it. We’re going to grow old together, Blake. We’re going to hold hands and kiss. I’m giving you all my energy. All this love and hope. It’s going from my heart to yours, through my hands. Feel it, Blake. Feel it. I love you so much. I’m going to love you forever. Can you feel that, Blake? Am I imagining that? Your skin? Blake! Blake, your skin! It’s just like glass, Blake. You’re really sparkling. I can see it. I can really see it. Your skin is amazing! You’re glistening, Blake. I’ll never stop. I’ll never stop.””
