he reassuringly nodded his head. I wished I could have the positivity he had. It was the one thing we used to have in common. We remained positive not only for ourselves but for each other but now I couldn't help but be pessimistic with the thick gray cloud looming over my head. Right now, him saying things would get better seemed like he was hoping and maybe praying for the impossible because I saw no way for this situation to get better.

She asked, her eyebrows raised. I shrugged and sipped my champagne refusing to give her a definite answer. "I mean there are a lot of things I could come see you for but since you have decided to speak about this, maybe it is truly time to deal with it.
