"I never said I'm going to give up, and I'm not going to, either."  he assured her, opening his eyes a little. "I want to be with you and love you." With that, he leaned in, and gave her a warm kiss on the cheek. Yes, that was what he wanted... To be happy with her. She did somehow make him feel content and full of life, and even though he didn't know how she achieved it, as long as it lasted, he didn't care at all.<br/><br/>"I was raised to fight, Abby. And I will, for you, or for anything that matters."  he whispered into her ear, hugging her tighter than before.
