HIS HOPE

"You don't know what you are talking about." Kace was still in his defensive stance as his eyes locked on Hope's. He grinded his teeth to hide the thing that he really wanted to say. 

"I will never know if you don't want to try to talk to me about that." Hope raised her hands, and cupped his face with her small hands, forcing him to slightly bend his tall body towards her, so she could stare right into his eyes. "I saw you crying."

"I never cry." Kace's gaze became hard when he heard that, though he furrowed his brows, he didn't remember that he had ever cried in front of her, not even once. 

"When you were unconscious, I had this dream," Hope said with serious expression. 

"So, you saw me cry in your sleep?" Kace's mood somewhat lightened a little bit, as he chuckled upon hearing what Hope was saying. "That was just a dream."
