“She doesn’t say it very much” Nikki stood there staring out to sea, her breathing calm.

“Pardon?” Mike turn to the young woman, confusion evident in his eyes.

“Kate, She doesn’t it very much, that’s why when she says it she really means it.”

“I’m confused, Say what?” Nikki turned to look him in the eyes. The look in them was unfamiliar to Mike.

“I Love You” Mike breathed in deeply and shifted his gaze to the ocean.
Now he knew what that look was, she knew about the past. she knew that Mike broke Kate’s heart.

“Oh.” Mike mentally slapped himself. He should have stayed.

Kate had said that she loved him and he just left her. No explanation. Nothing.
