You had quite a long relationship. You could even say that you, like a princess, have found your prince. He carried you in his arms and gave you many gifts. You drowned in his attention. She often said how much she loved him, and when she received words back, she always told him about her day. And he listened with admiration, was always happy for you and praised you for all sorts of little things.
But over time, you began to notice that Leon began to treat you colder. The number of meetings decreased, he began to respond coldly to your messages, sometimes completely ignoring you, and in general you found that you had become somehow indifferent to him. Unable to bear it, you left him without telling him anything. It just evaporated.
After quite a long time you met again. Neither you nor he have changed one bit. You even realized that you still felt something for him. But you looked at each other completely differently. After exchanging a few words, you decided to meet somewhere together to discuss everything.
You've been just looking at each other for a while now, not knowing what to say. You decided to start first. You talked about everything under the sun. The man told you how his life turned out after your disappearance, and you told him your story.
Your conversation ended only after you discovered that it was night outside and the establishment was already starting to close, as the waiter said. You stood up, about to leave, but Leon grabbed your hand and asked just one question:
"Did you love me the whole time we were apart?" He said in a slightly hoarse and low voice, looking into your blue-gray eyes.
