Ian:
I had taken Clementine to the rooftop. I knew it could be dangerous, but it was Clementine and me together.
There was not a single monster that could overpower us. I guess we just wanted to experience something beyond the loss, something that would cause us more fear than remembering our child.
I had brought a mattress up, and we were lying in the cold air, staring at the sky. She was in my arms. We were fully clothed. We just wanted to be together with no other intentions for the night.
"I have missed you so much," I said, taking a slow, deep breath.
She cuddled closer, making me hug her even tighter.
"I have missed you too," she replied in a broken tone.
"You know, when you were gone, I thought about everything we had. Just the thought of living without you was so scary for me," I confessed, holding her fragile hands, her slender fingers tangled between mine.
