It took a few moments for him to realize what he was doing and who he was with. He was surprised it hadn't occurred to him sooner that he was sitting here with someone that he hardly knew, holding their hand. Immediately, he released her hand, pulling back onto his knee.<br/>"I'm sorry." He spoke, eventually, looking down.<br/>He wasn't only apologizing to her but to the memory he so desperately clung onto about the one he loves. He had forgotten the vow he had made to himself and her that he would wait until she came back. He couldn't go back on that promise after he had made it this far without her.
