Spagetti dinner (closed)
Sarah gave a light smile and blushed when techie grabbed the chair for her. “You’re such a gentleman, sweetie pie!” But as they started on their dinner Sarah suddenly got scared, what if something bad happens again? What if someone tries to hurt her boyfriend? She felt tears start to form in her eyes. “Techie…please, please don’t leave me! Stay here, stay with me!” She pleaded through her crying “I don’t want you to get hurt, not again. Please stay! Don’t leave me!”
Taken aback by the sudden shift in the mood, he took her hands from across the table and gave them a gentle squeeze, shifting the tablecloth (and anything on it) towards Sarah. “I’m not g-going anywhere, Sarah,” Techie promised, solemn. Nothing would tear them apart again. “MaMa’s gone. I’m scared all the time but I’m trying to r-realize that I don’t have to be.”
