The sun was setting over the field of flowers.

Charlotte sat motionless in the middle of the meadow, hugging her knees to her chest, her face downcast. Roo was sitting quietly by her side. She cooed softly from time to time, as if to ask, “Are you really okay?” But Charlotte didn’t look up. She was as still as a stone.

Allen walked up to her from behind and said lightly, “Hey, can I come over now?”

Charlotte’s shoulders tensed. Even when he drew closer, she seemed determined not to lift her face. Roo glanced anxiously from one to the other, then moved away to give them some space. She threw a look at Allen as she passed by and growled, “If you make Mommy cry, I’ll bite you.”

“I’m well aware of that.” Allen nodded calmly at her threat. He crouched in front of Charlotte, who still kept her face down. He shrugged in resignation. “You know, it’s pretty tough even for me to show up in front of someone who just rejected me. But I had something I had to say, so I came.”

Charlotte was silent.

“Remember I told you before...that I can tell when someone’s lying?” It was a coping mechanism that he had acquired after he had been thoroughly betrayed by people he had trusted. He had never imagined it would come in handy at a time like this. “So I can tell. I could see you were lying when you said, ‘I’m sorry.’ Am I wrong?”

Charlotte didn’t say anything. But he heard her gasp faintly, and he took it as confirmation. Allen sighed. “Why did you lie?”

Charlotte looked up as if someone had slapped her. “Because—because...!” Her face was smeared with tears, and heartrendingly twisted. “I’m an exile...so I always told myself...that I have to...leave you...someday, Allen...!” The words flooded out of her, as unstoppable as her tears. “But when I hear you say something like that, how can I ever go away...?! Even though I promised myself not to say...anything... I just don’t want to be...any more of a burden on you...than I already am! So why...!” She buried her face in her hands and broke down into sobs. “I knew...I knew that how I felt about you...was not just naughty... It was something truly bad!”

Allen stood still, listening closely to the words that came gushing out from her soul. Eventually, he sighed. “I knew it... I thought it might be something like that.”

He had imagined this kind of scenario as a possibility. Charlotte didn’t value herself enough, and too often she put others first. It was entirely plausible that she would suppress her own feelings for Allen’s sake, just as Allen had tried to do for her.

He knelt in front of her, looked into her eyes, and told her, “Listen. You might say you’re a burden...but that’s just not true.”

“Oh...”

“For me, you’re light itself. You changed my life.” His had been a dull life, in which days slipped idly by in monotonous succession. But that all changed drastically after he had met Charlotte.
