Alexandra looked up into David's eyes still keeping her hand in his. She stopped walking and turned to look at him. For a moment she doesn't say anything, she simply looked into his eyes, finding the strength therein to speak on what plagued her so.

"When I was twenty-four, I fell deeply in love with a man. We had been friends for a great many years. We had some of the most amazing adventures together, we grew together in way. Wrestling all over the world. One night, he told me that he could have seen us settling down, raising a family. We shared that one moment, that I never thought would happen for me. Two days later, he was gone. He never told anyone that he had epilepsy. He was on so much medication and still he chose this industry. He chose to wrestle."

Alexandra could feel the tears stinging at her eyes.

"One stormy night I received the worst phone call a person ever could receive. He was gone. They said his heart had exploded. A combination of the medication they had him on. After the funeral I lost all control, I began to drink, a lot. I began not caring what happened. I dared those who said they wanted me dead to come and do it. I stopped caring what happened to me. I sort of became closed off. My daughter was four at that time. I sent her to live with my birth father. One night, after drinking quite a bit. I decided it would be smart to drive myself home. I took a curve to fast, wound up going over the edge, rolled my car all the way down it. I woke up in the hospital several weeks later. Having very little memories of what had happened in the past few months."

She looked down.

"I understand what it's like to lose someone you love. I never thought I'd feel that strongly after that again. Sure there has been others.. but none that I felt that connected to... until you. And I never want to lose you."

Alexandra looked up into his eyes, a solitary tear rolled down her cheek, as she admitted what scared her when it came to the bond between them.
