Blue went to the office the next morning still preoccupied by the incident that happened last night. Surprisingly, she slept well, something she was not able to do for a long time.

She had been asking herself over and over since she woke up, do I still really love Brett? Her heart and mind always answered: Yes.

She reached her desk and looked at all the news and reports she was about to broadcast in an hour. As she was scanning, Brett came toward her. His right hand was behind his back as he seemed to be trying to surprise her with something.

The smile on his face bid her a nice, warm day. She could not resist smiling back as he approached gently.

"I have something for you."

The sound of his voice seemed so peaceful, she thought.

"What is it?" Blue said, trying hard not to make Brett notice she was blushing.

"I know you'll like it." He said in his usual child-like manner.

"C'mon, what is it? My broadcast is about to start." The smile never left her face.

He reached out his hand and revealed a red rose. Their eyes met in an instant that seemed like an unending eternity.

"For you, Blue."

Time seemed to stop suddenly for Blue. Memories flashed before her, tears started to fill her eyes.

He gave her the rose and touched her cheek before walking away as if nothing happened.

"In ten minutes, Ms. Constantino!" a voice shouted from her back.

"Okay, I... ahm... I'll be... ready... in a moment."

Have you touched the sands

Of the ocean floor?

Or have you seen behind

Heaven's door?

Have you kissed the cheeks

Of the clouds up high,

Or walked in grim mountains

Where Hate cries?

There are things we know

We could never do.

And there are facts that will be

Forever true,

Yet have you passed the limits

Of your mind?

Beyond the limits of thought

Where time unwinds.

Know that all things

We all could do.

If you have loved you'll know

It's true.

If you think it false

And my words you stall,

Then I'll tell you "You've never

Loved at all."
