Time ticked away second by second, and the room was completely dark.
The curtains weren't drawn, and the city's nighttime lights shone outside, distant, serene yet bustling.
Camden River and Windsor Myres lay flat on the bed.
Time seemed to have passed for a very long time, yet also seemed to have stayed still.
Windsor Myres asked him, "Do you love me?"
Camden River answered, "I do."
"But you don't love me as much as I love you." Windsor Myres asked again, "Would you give up your parents for me?"
"No." Camden River paused for a second, saying truthfully.
Windsor Myres turned over and pressed on top of him, "But I would. I'd be willing to give up my mom for you, can we just be together like this? Ignore my mom, don't live with your parents, just the two of us, don't think about anything, don't care about anything, can we?"
Camden River gently pushed her away and sat up.
