Tears and Secrets

"It's been 2 years and almost 1 month now since I saw you, my dear Fiancee,"

I gave a casual greeting, breaking her out of her thoughts.

Tears instantly welled up in her eyes, falling freely down her cheeks.

I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her into a warm embrace. Eva's body trembled as I held her close, her tears soaking into my shirt. Her arms wrapped around me tightly. I don't know why but I could tell what she was feeling, she was afraid... afraid that I might just vanish. 

Two years... it was a long time, and for someone as emotional as Eva, it must have been incredibly hard. But she is a strong girl. 

She continued to sob, the emotions she'd bottled up slowly spilling out. I gently stroked her hair, letting her cry as much as she needed. Resting my chin on top of her head.
