Bryan and Akiyo went out and had a walk in the streets. It was quite late at night, the streets were so quiet. Both Bryan and Akiyo didn’t say anything. They walked in the street, silently. None of them spoke a word.

"We haven’t had a walk like this for a long time have we?" at last, Bryan broke the silence.

"No, for a long time. You were afraid that you’d get recognised…" Akiyo answered. "But I’ve already got used to it now."

"I’m sorry. I thought you’d understand that…"

"You’ve already said that," she didn’t let him to finish.

"I don’t know that you’d get so angry. But you have to understand this is my job." He looked at her, hoping she’d understand.

"I know this is your job. And I’ve told myself many times, but I just can’t…" she couldn’t control herself anymore. Tears fall from her eyes.

Bryan looked at her. He didn’t want to see her like that. It made his heart broke into pieces.

"Please, don’t cry, please. I don’t wanna see you cry," he begged. He held her in his arms and kissed her forehead.

"I know, I’ve always known that… but I just…" Akiyo sobbed. "I thought you were forgetting me, leaving me…" She held Bryan tighter. Like she’s afraid he’d go away.

"No, I’d never ever thought that I’ll leave you. I did not and I will not," he said, patting her like a little cat. Then he started singing, "I’m never gonna say goodbye, cause I never wanna see you cry. I swore to you my love would remain, and I’d swear it all over again and I, I’m never gonna treat you bad, cause I never wanna see you sad. I swore to share your joys and your pain, and I’d swear it all over again."

"Now you know what I feel," he held her head up. "So don’t ever have this silly thought again." And he kissed her. She held him tighter and kissed him back.

"Promise me you won’t treat me like this again," Akiyo said.

"I swear," Bryan replied. Akiyo smiled at him happily.

"Yeah, that’s the way you look like in my memory," he smiled. "Oh by the way, I’m having a week off next week. Where are we going next week?"

"Umm… I don’t know. What do you think?"

"Maybe we’ll go to…

The lovers went back to the house in this chilling cold night, but the warmth of love filled the air and made them warm in each other’s arms.
