Alicia sighed and shook her head.

"But loving someone is your choice, Alicia."
Christopher took a step closer to her, but she raised her palm into the air, indicating that she didn't want him anywhere near her.

"I am truly sorry, Alicia."

"You forgot your glasses." he said in a low voice.
She wasn't wearing any glasses, though.
He just wanted to make her stay a little while longer. He wanted to gaze at her as if she were an old painting that was worth more than life.
He wanted to meet her.
He wanted to get to know her.
