Alex sighed, and braced herself.
Slowly, she walked up him, and whispered his name.
"Alex?" he said happily, turning around. "There you are. I've been looking for you. Look, I just wanted to say-"
"You don't have to say anything," she said.
"It's okay, really. I understand." She slowly lifted her hand.
"You do?", he said excitedly, relieved.
Without hesistation, Alex plunged the knife she carried into his abdomen, and stepped back.
"Yes," she said quietly. "I do."
