She pondered the question for a bit. She turned it over in her mind, her brow furrowed. 
 
 He did n't mind the wait. It was comforting just to enjoy the silence with her.

 He stroked the back of her hand with his thumb. Just to remind her that she had n't finished speaking. 
 
 ``... when I'm gone, you'll just have to fall in love with something else.'' She spoke the idea as if she'd pulled it from a great distance. It was a novel concept to her.

 His solitude brought him closer to her.
