"Stuart... if you want to spoil me all the time, promise me don't leave me. I've changed. I would be naughty. I would be emotional. I would be centered around you, and I would be reckless. I would be arbitrary. So please promise me. Never ever leave me. Otherwise, I need to take a long time to adapt myself to a new life. I am...no longer that strong...."
She started sobbing when saying the sentence out.
Her words shocked Stuart. Seeing such a small weak little woman in his arms, his heart started aching.
"I want to say the same. I promise I would not let you go again. Never."
He said word by word, in a slow and flat voice. But Edie could feel his determination and faith.
This was the first time for Stuart to ask him what she liked.
Then he kept her words in his heart.
What did she like about you? What clothes did she like? What place did she like to go? He knew all these from their daily life.
