He silently watched her as she gazed at the stars. They were sitting outside in the park on their bench. He had come here to think and she must have gotten the same idea because here they were, sitting in the dark, watching the twinkling stars, thinking about life, family, friends, and eachother.

It was an akward silence in which they sat. Both were very uncomfortable. Neither knew what to say, so they just gazed at the stars on this warm night, once in a while she would glance at him, though he would quickly turn his head as if he had not been looking but staring at the stars the whole time.

Both wanted to say so much but could never find the courage to say anything. Only he had dropped hints and clues to show his real emotions for her. A few momments of staring into eachother's eyes and one kiss on New Year's was all that they had shared. They both secretly wanted more, but concealed their love. They were just friends, best friends, and nothing more. It woud be risky even if they did something. Something could happen to the other.

He knew what he had done to her. She was no longer able to have children because of him. She had gotten canser because of his quest. He was the reason her sister was dead. Yet she stayed with him. Why? It was not her duty. She owed him nothing. It was him who owed her everything. She was the reason he was still alive. He could be dead right now if she wasn't here. But she was. Like she had always been. She would never understand how she had kept him going. He could only hope that the day would come when their lives would be perfect. For now, they gazed at the stars.
