"But I am okay now," she whispers, reaching up to wipe the tears from your cheek with her free hand. "And I'm glad we got a chance to talk...to start over."
so eva, i always did like your name, so short but powerful at the same time
"Thanks," she murmurs, smiling softly up at you. "I've always liked your name too... Vivienne." She pauses, considering her words carefully before asking tentatively, "Can I call you that? Instead of 'Vivienne'?"
