I nodded and sat down next to him, not saying a word and watching as he struggled with his feelings.

He sighed and rubbed his face. "I wish I could remember. From the pictures, I can see how much you meant to me, so much I took you to my father's grave. He was a pilot—"
"I know he died in the war, comr-Dimitri. You don't have to explain." I placed my hand gently over his. "You don't have to explain anything to me, but know that I'm always here to listen."
