“You dance?”“I think that might be overly optimistic,” he said. “I do something. I’ll try not to hurt you.”
“If I go to hell for this—”“I’ll be there as well. I’ll dance with you,” he promised.”
“In life...everyone hurts over something. But you can't hurt others because you do! Always try to help others and if you can't...Don't ever hurt them!”
“Hello!" He said hello and then said, "What are you up to now?" "I'm still crazy. The rain feels good. I love to walk in it. "I don't think I'd like that," he said. "You might if you tried." "I never have." She licked her lips. "Rain even tastes good." "What do you do, go around trying everything once?" he asked. "Sometimes twice.”
“Hey," he said smiling at me pulling off his sunglasses. "Did you get me something good?" "I think so," I said trying to ignore how hard my heart was beating. Then before I could think about it or analyze or consider what I was doing I leaned over and kissed him.”
“This isn’t over, Sylvia. I’ll leave you now, but I’m watching. I will not let that bastard hurt you.” I said this just as I reached the door. As she shut the door I heard a strangled whisper, “No, you’re perfectly capable of doing that on your own.”
