These are the Moments





Chapter Six

And these are the moments,
I thank God that I'm alive.
And these are the moments,
I remember all my life.
I've got all I've Waited for,
And I could not ask for me.

We walked around town for the next three hours, just talking. In a way, I had hoped the night would never come to an end, but at 1 a.m. I told Ashley I should head home.

"Can I call you?" he asked me. At that moment, he reminded me of a young child and I can still see the image vividly of hope, fear, and worry crossing his features, in a split second.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea, with you being involved." I said, hesitant to come between anything.

"That's completely over. It's been done for months now." he explained, looking at his feet.

"Well, okay..." I said, still somewhat reluctant.

"I promise." he said, meeting my eyes.

I gave him my number and he walked me to the subway. We waited for my train together and when it arrived, I didn't want to get on.
