Callahan said, the last four words leaving his mouth in a pained whisper. I felt as if somebody was squeezing my heart in a deathly grip and I could not breathe anymore.

I could not bear to see him so vulnerable.

“I would never let you die, Cal.” I began sobbing bitterly, and ran towards him, my hands holding him tightly. This time, he did not step away or push me back.

And I held onto him like he was the last breath of air I needed to survive.
