"How long will you love me?" The boy asked, afraid of an answer yet afraid of not knowing.

A pause.

"How long do you want me to?" The nearly grown man asked back, curling his arms around the little body in his he was cradling.

"And a day." He promised, eyes full of nothing but love for the boy.

A second.

"Liar."

Forever is an illusion.
