A/N: Word count: 111
Music: bowed her head, shamefaced at the words she had thrown into open air.
Time stood still, her austere cloak blanketing the couple.
The boy had stopped his kisses halfway at the forbidden words; he now lay beside her, warm breath fanning her lashes, creating crystal dew mixing with tears.
Suffocating silence marked the sudden distance between them as a childhood rhyme echoed through the girl's head.
Sticks and stones may break my bones…A sigh resonated from the boy's chest.
…but words will never hurt me…they'll be the death of me
The boy made a move to leave but stopped; smiling tentatively, the girl snuggled against him.
I love you.
