Love should always be enough.
She stood in the middle of the room, staring down at her hands, her blonde hair hanging loosely around her face. Whilst hidden, her eyes were clouded with sadness.
Her eyes didn't leave her hands, even when he entered the room. Yet he stood there, watching her, preparing to be her support.
"Kate."
The sudden noise made her jump and her eyes shot up to meet his. No emotion was present.
"I'm sorry."
His heart raced, his mouth drying out as he waited for a reaction.
She shook her head, letting out a small noise, one that could be mistaken for a laugh. She didn't believe him.
"Run away with me. Now. No one will have to know"
Desperation was evident in his voice.
"Why?"
He needed a good reason, one that she couldn't resist, no matter how hard she tried.
"Because, love should always be enough."
