A machine where your heart once was
Slowly takes the place of you
Slowly takes the place of you
A nearby clock ticked away the seconds as a momentary silence consumed them. Liam held Anju's gaze, firm and unyielding in this, and nodded once at her decree that she would leave in the morning. His thumb resumed its gentle caress against the backs of her fingers. He spared a grateful glance to Riya, under no illusions that had it been him alone, he likely could have begged her on his knees and it wouldn't have been enough to keep her for even another hour, much less another night.
Her grasp on his wrist surprised him, but he knew better than to regard her with anything like concern, knew what it cost her to ask this of him. So he simply nodded, a faint smile turning up the corners of his mouth, and settled into his chair at her bedside. "I'll be here," he murmured. Until she sent him away.
-FIN-

Only hold the memories now
Of a love I thought I knew
Of a love I thought I knew
Liam
