A Story by Kev

He entered the store briskly, opening the door, in a hurry. He only had ten minutes left of his lunch break and he wanted to get back early to make up for being late yesterday. His stomach growled once again. He needed something to eat, just to tide him over until his shift ended. He walked up to the register and looked down at the menu.
"I'll just have one of your homemade chocolate brownies please," he told the person behind the counter.
"Of course, and can I get your name?" a sweet, tender voice asked him. Still looking down, surveying the menu for any last minute choices, he answered back quickly.
"Adam," he said.
There was a brief silence.
"I knew that," the voice replied. Adam looked up, laughing a little.
"And why is tha-" he stopped.
It was her.
He gazed into her eyes. Blue and white like the oceans waves.
"No..." his voice faded away. He felt his heart jump into his throat. Tears begin to form in his eyes. He couldn't drop his gaze.
"I thought I lost you."
"You can't get rid of me," she replied. "Never in a million years."

Adam gripped the counter to help himself from falling to his knees.
"But you-" She pressed a single finger against his lips.
"I'll never leave you. Always remember that."
Adam reached his hand out, and touched her face.
So real.
Adam closed his eyes, his hand feeling her soft skin. He opened his eyes.
She was gone.
His hand stayed, reaching out to nothing.
A single tear slid down his face.
