“Thеn рlеаѕе, love me, make me rеmеmbеr thе fіrѕt tіmе. I nееd уоu tо rеmіnd mе juѕt how gооd іt was аgаіn.” Hіѕ face wаѕ barely іnсhеѕ away frоm mine. Mу thumb ѕkіmmеd over hіѕ ѕоft lірѕ аѕ wе ѕtаrеd dеер into еасh оthеr’ѕ еуеѕ. “Then promise mе if it gеtѕ too muсh you’ll stop mе. I’m nоt going аnу further than whаt уоu allow mе tо.”

The music starts to play, and I begin to sing. [Anywhere you are, I am near] [Anywhere you go, I'll be there] I sing it, and I stare at Stephanie's eyes. I remember the days we were just dating happily. Whenever she wants to go, I accompany her to be happy. [Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see] [How every single promise I'll keep] I always keep my promise for you, and I feel ruined. Steph's promised me to love me forever. She promised not to leave me behind.

“I thought—I thought you left…” “Oh sweetheart,” I breathed, hugging her tighter. “No. Never. I will never forget you.” “I checked the bracelet five times,” she hiccuped. “I thought maybe it broke and you didn’t come.” “It didn’t break,” I whispered. “It did exactly what it was supposed to do. It reminded you that I was coming back.” She pulled back slightly, her cheeks wet, her eyes huge. “You promise?” “I promise,” I said without hesitation. “I will always come back for you.”

“Well, I can't forget you. Ever since I saw you, you've been on my mind.” I let out a laugh, relief filling me as I look at him. He could have just said so, there was no need to pretend to be interested in who I am when he came for Medusa and not the woman behind her. “I see, well the fantasy usually dies out when you realize I'm not what I claim to be.” I smile, this time genuinely. “Medusa is an act, it's my job. I can pretend to be anyone, make you feel special and still go and cuddle up next to my boyfriend.”

"Then promise me again." "I promise."

“Dante, I know we’ll do what Dario wants you to do. But if we go to my house, promise me that you won’t leave me there.” He slapped his fist against his chest. “You have my sworn promise.” Swallowing, I nodded. “I trust you.”

“Promise me something.” “Anything.” “No matter how bad it gets, no matter what they say, you’ll remember this moment. You’ll remember us. Not the empire, not the betrayal. Just us.” Her heart ached at the vulnerability in his voice. She lifted her hand to his cheek, guiding him into her gaze. “I promise, Liam. This...” she pressed her hand against his chest, where his heart beat beneath her palm, “this is forever. And forever isn’t theirs to take. It’s ours.”

She still didn’t understand the point I’m driving to. “Even if I mess up, will you still love me?” I guess this question will make her give me the answer I'm wanting. “Of course I will and will never do that,” she said with clarity. A tickle of smile circled around my face. “You promise?” I asked, looking unconvinced. “I cross my heart,” she crossed hers, making it clear to me. “Please don’t forget today. Even if I mess up, still remember today. I love you, will always do,” I said as I kissed her lips.

“I won’t ever let this happen again, I promise” “I know you won’t.”

“I promised you that no matter what... I would always return for a moment with you. I promised, my love. I promised.” A teardrop fell from his left eye into hers, and she blinked before something felt familiar to her. She had heard the words before, and her heart knew she had heard them long ago, longer than a year or even a decade. It was like trying to remember something she had long forgotten. Another tear of his fell into her right eye and she blinked again. “I promised that you would remember me by my tears, love. But you let the tears fall so many times without remembering them.”
