"So, there is something you should know."
"Are you finally gonna tell me what you have been hiding from me the last couple of weeks?"
I gasped.
"Don't be so surprised, Roza. You're a terrible liar."
I giggled. "You're right," I admitted, walking towards a particular bench around the lake, hoping this spot would trigger a memory.
He looked around once he sat down and squinted at the weeping willow on our right, its long branches creating shadows over us.
"This place is special."
I nodded.
"I… I can't…" he huffed. "Ugh, I hate when this happens!"
"Ssshhh… calm down," I soothed, rubbing his shoulder. "Close your eyes and take a deep breath." He did as I told him. I stood between his legs. "Relax and clear your thoughts. What do you see?"
"Snow, there was snow on the ground."
"Yeah… and we were here."
"You were cold," he said, rubbing his hands over my arms.
I smiled and cupped his cheeks. "You tucked me under your coat."
"I kissed your forehead."
I leaned in and kissed his forehead. "I love you," I whispered against his skin.
He gasped and his eyes popped open. "I told you I loved you here."
I nodded, tears in my eyes. "And I said it back."
He stood up and pulled me so close to him, my face buried against his chest.
"I remember," he whispered softly.
I smiled. "Good."
"No, Roza… I remember."
