"I love you" he said
"I know" she said
"That's all you have to say? " he asked in disbelief.
"I don't think it's considered okay to lie this early in the morning, so let's enjoy watching the sun rise and from there I'll  see how I'll feel in the next two or  it could be five years, then maybe I could give you the response that you expected." She said this, unaffected as she  looked beyond the mountains the sun was rising from, pretending to see a future she could never picture with him.
