A verse per chapterJ

Talk about our future
like we had a clue
never planned that one day
I'd be losing you

Zoe and nick were just walking away from the hotdog van, nick had just convinced the board members to give the ED extra funding, he said that he would treat Zoe but to be honest she was looking more than a hotdog.

"I may not have long to live" said nick to zoe as they walked away from the hotdog van "but I intend to eat more hotdogs"

Zoe laughed slightly and smiled as nick as she thought of all the things he would want to do before he dies and he thinks about hotdogs.

"Well it's good to have goals" said zoe sarcastically "but I think your reaching a little high there"

Nick smiled and nodded his head while taking another bite of his hotdog

"Well the ED…" nick began to speak

"Oh here we go, the shiny plack again" said Zoe laughing at nick

"The shiny plack will be there long after I'm gone" said nick smiling "it's a symbol for everything I have achieved"

"So that's it then, that's how you plan to fill your time, with work and hotdogs" said Zoe smiling

"No your right" said nick "there is more that we could be doing"

"Oh, really" said Zoe smiling realizing he said we "like what?"

There was a long silence during which Zoe looked at nick who looked and smiled at her before turning back.

"Things, stuff" said nick who was trying not to make it obvious

"Things and stuff" said Zoe who was trying to sound surprised at his suggestion

Zoe smiled and tried not to laugh as she realized nick was serious.

"We could be a normal couple" said nick

Zoe lifted her head up after hearing this but then just rolled her eyes as she knew that her and nick would never be a normal couple no matter what he says"

"Now you really are aiming too high" said Zoe with a confused look on her face

"Nice house, car" said nick and Zoe just nodded as she knew that this was very unlikely to happen

"A couple of kids" said nick

Zoe was smiling and taking it all in until nick said those words, the words that she was dreading hearing any man say but of course it had to be nick, her one true love because after all life works that way.

Nick could see the shock in Zoe's face as he said kids and a lump suddenly appeared in Zoe's throught as she remembered the day she was told that she would never have a child of her own.

"Kids" repeated Zoe

"You not want that?" said nick taking Zoe's hotdog

"No" whispered Zoe wishing that nick had actually realized she was talking about kids

Nick walked away and Zoe could feel the warm tears in her eyes that were ready to run down her face, but she would never let nick see and never let him know that she could not give him the thing that he wanted.
