Shouldn't make promises I cant keep

Eric's POV,

"You're gonna stay with me even after I recall my memories, right Eric," Keerah asked making my hands freeze instantly.

I know telling her I'll be with her even after her memories are back would be a total lie, because I knew we can't be together no matter how much I might want that, it's just impossible for us to be.

So instead of saying yes, I remained quiet for a while, and I tried to think of what I could tell her that wouldn't be a complete lie.

Keerah got up gently from my lap, and stared at me for a while probably trying to read my facial expressions, she then reached her hands up to touch my face.

"Hey, why aren't you answering Eric," she asked slowly while staring into my eyes.

I couldn't stare back at her, afraid that she'd see through the conflict behind my eyes.

My gaze was down until I was finally able to speak, after contemplating too much about what I could say.
