Why did he only fall in love with her when her heart was completely broken?
"You..." she hesitated, whispering, "give me... some more time."
As soon as she said this, he hugged her tightly, a force that was terrifying.
"Alright..." he whispered, "I'll give you time..." Perhaps tonight he said so much just to wait for this sentence from her, "As long as you're willing to love me again, no matter how long... I'm willing to wait."
"..." Iris hesitated, extending her hand to gently wrap around his lean waist, burying her face in his chest.
Brandan's heartbeat was very fast, a strange sadness stirred in her heart, and she softly said, "Thank you..."
"There's no need to thank me." Brandan pressed her head, letting her lean in his embrace, his voice a bit tremulous, "I should be the one thanking you. Iris... thank you, thank you for being willing to give me another chance."
Perhaps these words from her were enough.
