““I'm sorry," i say, grasping hold of his fleshy hands, " I'm not lettting you go. Ever." His eyes widen for a moment, then are hidden behind his lashes. "You cant force me to stay, ___. It's wrong. Love can only get us so much. We can't be together. It's not our destiny." His soft palm is sweaty in mine, his large fingers vacillating. I shake my head and say,"You're wrong, you know. Love is the only thing there was, there ever will be. And DESTINY? WE NEVER BELEIVED IN DESTINY, ____!! EVER! Don't you remember, all those days, talking about the human race we resented, priding ourselves for not being one of them? Of not making up stuff just to blame something-somebody-else? The ____ I know doesn't talk about DESTINY!" His lashes are rising, slowly, and i focus on the tiny eyes in the vast expanse of his face. I take a deep breath, squeeze his unsteady and exquisite hand once, hard, and let go. " I love you. i have loved you since i met you, since way before you even started paying attention to me. I believe in you, trust that you love me enough. You will come back to me. For us, it's eternity.””
