My hands trembled with the same intensity as when I first encountered the question.
"It's my turn," he exclaimed, his voice filled with eager anticipation. I swallowed hard before mustering the courage to read the question aloud.
"Have you ever been in love?" As the words left my lips, I observed the transformation of his cheery demeanor into one of profound contemplation. He paused, his gaze drifting upward to the vast expanse of the sky.
Before he could respond, a sudden gust of wind whisked away the small slip of paper I held.
"Well, that's bascially littering," he remarked, a playful twinkle in his eye.
"So… are you going to answer or leave me in suspense?" I inquired, a hint of playful impatience in my tone.
"Hmm, I suppose," he mused, his expression thoughtful.
"I suppose?" I echoed, curiosity piqued, awaiting his explanation.
With a wistful sigh, he began, "The sky, the stars… everything out there, whether discovered or lost. Perhaps I'm in love with the cosmos itself. Or maybe it's the mere notion of someone reaching out to hold my hand… but ultimately…"
"Robbie…" I interjected softly, a sense of urgency tinged with affection in my voice.
Meeting my gaze, his smile faded, replaced by a profound sadness as he continued.
"But you see, it's the allure of the unknown, the pull of the universe. I yearn to explore, to discover. I am but a mere observer, a spectator in the grand scheme of things. And yet, it is this vastness, this tiny fraction of existence that captivates me."
Unable to contain my emotions any longer, I confessed, "Robbie, you are my universe."
A pained expression crossed his face as he whispered, "I'm sorry."
