"If selfishness saves another life, I don't mind."
"What now?" she stepped away with hands clasped, "-what am I supposed to do?"
"I don't know really," he veered towards the townscape, "-I knew a confession would eventually happen. I- I'm sorry, I should have noticed earlier and made sure the feelings grew in the opposite end of the spectrum."
"Tell me," she inched closer, "-do you love someone?"
"I do actually," he smiled, "-three little bundles of mess and joy, Draconis, Vanesa, and the fiery Saniata. Why do you ask?"
"If you're allowed to be selfish," wind blew across her visage, "-goes the same for me, I'm allowed to be selfish too," her gaze landed firmly, "-I'll make sure my feelings come across. I won't give up easily." In said instant, when the words of her hearts of hearts uttered out her mouth, a shy ray of light landed, a playful gust blew to scatter the falling leaves across her stead, "-did I make you speechless?" she winked.
