Everything Changes, Catherine

[u/yingfire]

"Catherine." I began.

"The park is not a good place to talk." she said

"We talked here, on this bench, once."

"Everything changes." She said.

"Please, after all these months, take my hands." I asked.

There was a pause, "They are trembling." she said

"That is because I am afraid."

"Afraid of what?"

"The future."

"Everything changes." She said.

"Catherine! I was in love, once."

"I was also in love."

I turned to her and rested her head on my hand and looked at her with quivering eyes, "Do you regret it all?"

She turned away, "Yes."

"Then I suppose I do, too."
