"I love you, too,"  Clay sweetly says as he takes my hands into his.

I glance into his dark eyes and I know I need to tell him.  "Clay."

"Yes, Sarah."  His voice holds out for me to repeat those words.

I take a deep breath.  "I need to go."

"Stay."

"I can't."

"Yes, you can, Sarah.  We can talk."  He pulls me towards his waiting arms and I accept his tender hold.

We fall silent as his hands stroke across my back.  My thoughts burn in my head as I know I need to fix this.

"I wasn't talking about you,"  I soft say.

"What?"  He ask after giving my temple a kiss.

I sit up and look at him.  "I wasn't talking about you."

"Sarah."  Clay starts, but I place my finger on his lips to stop his words.

"I was talking about me.  Sadik did hurt someone I love…. He hurt me."

The End
