However, I am going to have to ask you to promise to remember one thing." Slowly he looked up at her, searching her eyes. "Remember I am your friend? Remember that no matter what, I am here for you. Remember that my only intention is to help you." Because if she couldn't remember or comprehend that, he knew he wouldn't be able to hold enough patience to try and help her find what she was looking for.
Lexi looked kind of dumbfounded for a moment then tilted her head to one side. "
Sabel I am well aware that all you have ever wanted to do since the day I met you is help me or protect me... that is why I am asking you to help me now. I won't push you away, I won't get angry with you... I just want your help. If anyone here now knows me, it's you. There is no one else that could help me," she said matter of factly. With a small smile touching her lips she leaned over and lay her head on his shoulder and pulled her feet up on the couch.
"
You know... I missed you most of all, Sabel," she said quietly.
