I Thought You'd Never Ask Mga Nobela at Kwento

“You’re right about that.” A thought sparks, uninvited. “Did he?” I ask. “Did he tell you to bring this out for me?”

I asked "You die."

I wondered, not for the first time, if anyone else ever saw him like this—unguarded, almost uncertain. “Roman,” I said before I could stop myself. He stiffened, just slightly. Not in displeasure, but awareness. The use of his name here, between us, carried weight. “Yes, Edith?” I swallowed. There were a hundred things I wanted to ask him. About his future. About the whispers I had heard—of alliances, of expectations tightening around him like a snare. About whether this… whatever this was… had an ending he had already accepted. Instead, I said, “This cannot last.”

Facing opposite directions like little kids do—except neither of us is little anymore and we never got the chance as kids. Midnight crawls away, the house begins to breathe silently. And the question I’ve been holding for two months presses up under my ribs. I swallow. “Hey,” I whisper. “Mhm?” I hesitate. Because once I say it, I can’t unknow the answer. “You know,” I murmur slowly, “I’ve never actually asked.” He cracks one eye open. “Asked what?” My pulse kick up. “About Kasper.” a breath, “about you..”

“Are you sure you want this?” “I've never been more sure.”

I asked, keeping my voice neutral. "I-I can explain," she stuttered, making me chuckle in disbelief. "I'm not even mad at you; what I want to know is: would you have told me if I never heard your thought?"

“‘Why do you want to know about that? i adked making sure I tried to sound as polite as possible , I was just coming from an hospitals ahd I didn’t want to do anything that would send me vs k there immidiately , I was abiding that . “‘Do you think that I can’t listen , I asked you a question and you haven’t answered me and yet you are the one suddenly asking me a question . Sometimes I seems to get amazed by how you get your courage because I just don’t get it . “ you better answer me girl because if you don’t you won’t like what I am going to do to your, you might think that this a joke but by the time I have done something that crazy to you then you would open that stinky disgusting mouth

"Why do you want me? we never meet and I don't know you? I have never seen you and I am so sure, you have never seen me too?" Anna said whole thinking everything happened in her life, she was too sure that she didn't see her not even once, she didn't even hear his name, she is not into any of this and never heard of any of those his name, even though, it was all over the newspaper,

“What are you doing?” “I’ve never asked you for anything, nor have I ever knelt to James. Please grant me this request.”

Tomorrow, I thought, tomorro w I'll get answers. But deep down, I wasn't sure I wanted to know the truth anymore
