He finally set his tiring eyes on me. “Why you still here?” My mouth opened then closed before I sighed. “You looked like you needed help.

His eyes finally close as his breathing evened out. “If you die then you weren’t meant to know me or see me again…” Is the saying, what’s meant to be will always find its way back to you, true?
