Desire

Mia continued to stare at Leo in bewilderment. His line of thought made a lot of sense. 

If she loved someone else more than herself, who was going to love her for her? 

She had spent years of her life loving her mother. Everytime, she did only what would please her, but then, her mother hadn't showed her a bit of love, neither had anyone else actually loved her the way she loved her mother. No wonder she had been living like that. 

"I have been so stupid" She said to herself.

"Are you okay?" Leo asked in worry when a tear slid down her eyes.

"Why are you crying?" He asked as he sat beside her on the bed and used his hand to wipe off her tears.

Mia looked into his worried eyes. She suddenly felt too emotional and burst into tears.
