"I forgot!" she screamed. "I forgot! Why are you so excited?! What happened!
" "What happened?! You dare ask what happened!?" He made a sudden move toward her, then grabbed her arm tightly, pulling her toward him. From a distance, they might have resembled a pair of lovers in the throes of passion, love, and lust, but they weren't... Being as close to his eyes as she was, the hatred could almost be touched.
He brushed her long, unruly hair away from her face. He stared at her silently, anger in his eyes, yet with something she couldn't quite fathom. In that strong embrace, more like Python's, the only thoughts swirling in her head sounded like the dull clang of bells, as if someone had blown a bubble next to her ears, the sound of the explosion drowning out reality. Brutal reality...
They froze in silence for a moment, staring into each other's eyes, deep in the thorns of nerves and terror. She tried to understand why five years together had vanished in a matter of seconds, irrevocably burning the past. He had become a different person to her, as if they had met for the first time. She didn't know his face, and the entire world she had known had ceased to exist... She still stood motionless, like a doll that moved at every nod whenever some force acted on it. This time, the force wasn't just any force... She couldn't break away because fear paralyzed her, and piercing the muffled sound of her breathing, the question circulating at the very back of her mind, "Who is this man?! Who are you!?"
He still held her tightly, but he felt something incredibly strange, like a bolt of lightning, a shock that struck him directly in the heart. Everything thundered, he felt pain. He saw the fear in her eyes, and he had never felt more helpless. His hand was petrified, and he couldn't withdraw it, as if he were under a spell, as if he'd lost control of what he was doing. But his face grew sad, taking on a strange expression of surprise. The grip was losing its power. His snake-like fingers were loosening from the victim's delicate flesh.
She continued to look straight into his eyes, saw a glassy sheen in them, and after a brief moment, thin streams of tears...
"I love you..." she whispered. Her heart broke at the sight, and everything that had happened a few seconds ago lost all meaning. What mattered was "here" and "now." She wanted to throw herself into his arms, cry with him, whisper a thousand words that would scatter against his thoughts. She wanted to devour him like never before. She wanted to feel that he was, that he was, and that he would remain. The past was gone...
It was like an impulse. He realized what he had done... He could have lost her, hurt her so deeply that she would leave and never return. He understood that she was a miracle he couldn't lose, an angel sent to him by providence... As he gazed at her silently, like warm summer rain on his skin, he felt her beauty. She stood before him, gazing with such incredible tenderness with her hazel eyes, and he could still feel the scent of her hair. Her lips, usually a warm pink, became fiery red, whispering softly and enticingly, "Take me"...
They hypnotized him like a melody, like an invisible path leading him to them. He approached her, and their mouths connected in a passionate kiss, still whispering to each other, "I love... I love... I love..."
