The moon hung large and bright in the sky, as we stared up at it, her fingers intertwined in mine. I was content to lay there in silence, but she spoke up eventually.
"I gotta head back."
I turned to look at her in confusion.
"To the cottage?"
She turned her head to look at me.
"No, back home."
I blinked a few times.
"Ok. When will you be back?"
"I won't."
I stopped blinking.
"You... Why?"
"I have responsibilities."
I considered my words.
"You could abandon them."
I saw in her eyes that the idea was alien to her.
