A Room Without Light

"It's been a while since you've been staying here,"
"I wouldn't be anywhere else. If I'm not here... who'll be taking care of you?"
"Maybe you shouldn't. You're putting so much on yourself for doing this,"
"I really don't mind. Don't care actually, about anything else but you,"
"You shouldn't do that,"
"I do it anyways,"
"...you do. Thank you,"

One focus.

"You should go back,"
"I'll go back if you'll come with me,"
"But I'll be so much trouble,"
"Trouble?"
"Yes... with your family, and all,"
"There isn't any trouble at all. Say what they say, do what they want. This is you and me,"
"Is it really?"
"Yes, it is. So come with me,"
"I will. I will,"

Determined to do what must be done.
