"Oh, but it will." Johnny's eyes were soft and watery. "We'll make it through this." He took off his suit jacket, and threw it on the chair. He scooted closer, and caressed her face. "Boss said I could come home after I explained everything. And showed him my medicine. " he sighed.

"The least you could do is have some faith." He muttered. " maybe this is the universe saying we need to wait, or maybe something even better is going to happen." Johnny looked at her sadly, a tear escaping his eye. "It's heartbreaking, yes." He stood, paving the room. "But we can't let this hold us back." He then sat in the chair, and slumped down, rubbing his forehead. "Orherwise, we won't be on the same page. We'll get separated, and then we'll start fighting, and then before I know it..." He glanced at her pale- faced, tears running down.

"I'll wake up in an empty house. Alone."
