"That's up to you Alex. But you can't just give up on life. Live it while you can. Share what you have left...with me."
"Anaeha...I don't know what to say."
She smiled then slowly came to me and wrapped me up in a hug. "Just say yes Alex. Is it so hard to say? We care about each other...and having been a hero, you know what my life is like, how hectic it is..so you will understand my frequent absences. And I would like to have someone around to share the quiet moments with. It's a lonely life, as you well know."
I smiled and hugged her back. It felt good hugging her. And I knew it would feel good being with her. "Mmm, you make a compelling offer Anaeha."
"Call me Sara Alex. I don't want to be Anaeha when I am with you. I want to be a woman...with a man. Is that too much to ask?"
"Sara...that's a nice name."
"Thank you Alex, I like it too. I've had it for a lot longer than I've had the other name."
"Something for me to think about Sara?"
She kissed my neck and began rubbing my shoulders. "Maybe...I can't say I know what you're going through Alex, or say what I would do if I was sick like you, but I can ask you to live up to the possible, not down from it."
