A Simple Question

"Do you ever think of me?" She asked him after their initial silence.

"Yeah." His tone was casual.

"And what is it that you think, when you think of me?" She was searching his eyes, looking for the yearning that reflected her own. It wasn't there.

He shrugged and said, "I wonder how you're doing and stuff."
Her heart was breaking yet again.

"Is that all?" She forced herself to maintain an even tone, but she was terrified that he'd hear the desperation in her voice.

He looked at her. "Yeah." He sounded totally detatched. "Why?"

She wanted to scream at him that not a day went by that she didn't think of him and want him back. She wanted to grab him and shake him and make him love her. Instead, she turned and looked at the river flowing gently beneath them.

"I was just wondering."
