Redamancy
a small taste
...Suddenly, Joey gulped, setting the burger she was eating back on the hood of the car. She slowly looked over at Harry, who was seemingly far too focused on his own burger to notice she was looking at him.
She sighed and looked away, into her lap and not a moment later she felt his eyes on her.
“How do you keep love alive?” She asked with a slight shake in her voice. He blinked once. Twice. He was thinking what could have been said to elicit such a question. He hadn’t said anything to prompt her, and he certainly wasn’t prepared for the thoughtful inquiry. And he wasn't so sure he knew the answer to it, anyways.
She looked up at him to notice his brows furrowed as he took another bite from his burger (to buy himself time, no doubt), and swallowed it down quickly after.
“You shouldn’t have to,” he finally said, “When it’s real, it doesn't run the risk of ever dying.”

This is an excerpt from quite a bit later on in the story which I've decided to use as a preview. If you're interested, please let me know - I'd love to tell you the story leading up to and beyond this point! (:
