The way that he was acting made Stephanie really believe that this was much more than she thought it was. She got a little nervous about it then, fidgeting as she watched him.

She pondered his question for just a moment, staring at the girl in the picture, “I guess the beauty of it is that it could be anyone that you wanted it to be,” she said at first, tilting her head very softly, and coming closer, standing right beside him in front of it, “...but when I look at it, I see me.

They’ve passed through the day and they’re continuing on into the evening to whatever is out there. They might be lovers, they might be friends...”

All she had been able to think about was this painting, and now...she was sharing it with this person that she’d always loved, “None of us want to go on forever by ourselves,” She looked up at him with a bit of a smile on the corners of her lips, not knowing why she was anxious, “We walk this road together, right?”
