I laid my forehead against hers, inhaling deeply, shivering in her arms...

‘We can’t do this again...’

Placing two fingers under my chin, she lifted up my face, causing our eyes to meet in that neverending connection...

‘Jodi... I mean, you and Jodi...’

I spoke the name in hesitation, thinking it would stop her to do something she would regret later, but then, her eyes began to smile in sadness...

‘T... We talked... There is no ‘me and Jodi’ anymore...’

She looked down and up again, her eyes in a surrender, in a vulnurability I had never seen before...

‘Oh... I... I’m sorry...’

My hand was trembling uncontrollably as she took it and placed it on her cheek, fondling her face against my palm...

‘The question you asked me yesterday made me see... Made me feel...’

She looked at me again with the yielding clearly visible in those brown orbs...

I couldn’t move...

I couldn’t breath...

And as she brought her mouth closer to mine, I didnt have the power to object...

And then...

She mumbled them, against my lips...

The words that changed everything...
