Gusto reached for her cheek, but the cold feeling touching his fur made him draw his hand back. His eyes filled with tears, as he sat there looking at her. A single sob left his lips.
"Gusto?"
Gruffis voice made him turn in his chair. He was standing there with the rest of the gummis of the Glen, all with concerned looks upon their faces.
"I'm sorry. But you need to say goodbye."
"I can't."
"Tell her what you always wanted to say. Please?"
A moment of silence occurred. Then Gusto took her hand and slowly whispered:
"I love you."
