Cam looks stunned as if Lillian's power had put a spell to mute his voice. He stood up and grasped her shoulder. His eyes were desperately searching into hers for the meaning of every word she had said. Cam wanted to assure Lillian wouldn't torn down the hopes that lay in his heart like she did before. He was mixed with the feeling of confusion and happiness. No words escaped his mouth until Lillian spoke.

"It's crazy but it's true."

"Why…?" Cam muttered. "What make it wrong for you to like me?"

"Cam… you have a fiancee, Laney. She's more of anything than I am. She knows you longer. She's more beautiful. She loves you for an extended time. I- I… can't compete to that. She's perfec—"

"Not for me. If she were perfect, then why didn't I fall in love with her?"

"But…-"

Cam leaned his forehead to hers and formed a small smile.

"I don't care if she's more of anything than you are. I know that Lillian is the best one of all. You're my only perfection."

Lillian took all her strength to stretch her lip for a faint smile. Her hand rose to stroke his soft cheek. She investigated his beautiful green eyes that made her heart beats so rapidly whenever they gazed at her. The more they stared at each other, the closer their lips were. Lillian forced herself to snap out of this cruel reality and pushed Cam away from her.

"It- it's time to go to sleep. We should get to bed!" Lillian stammered. She turned her flushed cheeks away.

"Y-yeah… Where do I sleep..?"

"My place is pretty empty… I only have a few furniture…"

Lillian felt embarrassed for having such a deserted apartment. She only had one table in her living that was short enough for her to lean on while sitting down. There were no chairs or couches.

"Why didn't you buy any furniture?" Cam asked.

"I don't need them."

"Why not?"

"I live here by myself but my brother visit me when he's on school vacation. He doesn't mind living like the way I live."

Cam raised his eyebrows. "You have a brother?"

"His name is Philip. He's my twin brother," Lillian smiled in her respond.

"How come he doesn't live here with you?"

"He was, when our parents were still alive. Philip didn't get along with them very well so he decided to move out and live on his own. Ever since my parents died, Philip visits me more than he used to. It's pretty nice to have a sweet brother like him. Though, I keep a lot of things from him so he won't be worry about me." Lillian rose and let out a big sigh. "We should go to sleep now. I have an extra blanket and a pillow you can use."

"Thanks."

Cam followed Lillian to her bedroom where it was almost empty. A twin-size bed was set in the corner of the room and a book shelf stood against wall. That was it. Lillian handed him a neatly folded blanket with blue flower patterns and a plain white pillow.

"You can sleep on the bed," Lillian said.

"Then where are you going to sleep?"

"On the floor."

"I'll just take the floor. It's your bed and your house anyways," Cam said as he settled himself on the hard ground.

"But… you'll catch a cold. It's raining outside, too."

"Don't worry about it. I'm strong."

"Do you... um... want to sleep on the bed together?" Lillian asked. Her heart began to beat faster in the time of waiting for his respond.

Cam smiled and replied, "No. It's too small for the both of us. Let's just go to sleep."

Lillian nodded. She lay on her comfortable bed with guilt ringing in her chest.

"Ah-choo!" Cam sneezed.

Lillian stared at Cam who rolled his body into a ball with a blanket. She let out a big sigh and threw her pillow at him.

"W-what?"

"Get up."

"Why…?"

"Just do it."

With that, Cam obeyed Lillian's demand and stood up. He watched her spreading her bed sheet on the floor and her blanket over it.

"What are you doing?" He asked, tilting his head to a side.

"Spreading out the bed sheet and the blanket."

"Why…?"

"So it won't be as cold for you."

"Don't you need your blanket though? I don't want you to get sick…"

Lillian felt the thumping in her chest but she gave Cam a little smile. She replied, "I'm sleeping down here, too, with you."

"What?"

"Gosh, Cam. Why can't your ears work at this moment? We're going to suffer together!"

"B-but why..?"

"Less chance of you getting sick, less chance of me getting scold by your parents. Besides, I don't want to be drown by my guilt."

"Oh…"

Cam was hoping that another reason existed behind her actions. A wish lingering in his heart that Lillian would say she worries about him. He set his body on the new warm and thick sheet and slowly closed his eyes.

"Is the ground warmer now…?" Lillian asked.

"Yeah. Thank you."

"Cam…"

"Hmm?"

"I care about you, too. I don't want you to get sick because of me," Lillian muttered.

Cam turned to her and pulled her into an embrace. He smiled.

"C-cam…?" Lillian stammered.

"It's warmer this way… you're like a big fluffy teddy bear. It also feels like i'm hugging a giant marshmallow."

"Are you calling me fat?!"

"In a good way, yeah!"

Lillian forcefully pushed Cam away but he hugged her tighter. Then he intertwined her hand with his and kissed her softly on the cheek, making her face red.

"Hey! Get away from me!"

"No… I'm lazy… so stay like this," Cam muttered. "You're so soft, too."

"I don't like you."

"But you love me."

"No, I don't!" Lillian opposed.

Cam let out a small chuckle and said, "Hey, Lillian… Today is our bittersweet Periwinkle. Though, I wish it won't end."

"But eventually… flowers will wither away… but at least it has shown it beauty. We have to enjoy it while it last."

"Hey, Lillian."

"Yes?"

"I love you."
