Willow: Yeah?
Kennedy: You can float around and I'll tether you down.Willow: You'll 
be, like, my kite string?
Kennedy: Mhm. You'll be a kite, and I'll be your kite string.

"Will&are you asleep?" I heard the soft sound of her voice 
behind me. 
She was finished already.

I take a breath to compose myself. "I can't sleep." I say in shaky 
voice.

"Why?" She asked concerned.

"Because& I miss the sound of your heartbeat too much." I let 
out with a small whimper.
