I'll Always Be There Soon

Soon

Blake

You home now?

Merryl

Yeah! Gonna cook dinner. Want some?

Blake

You seem happy. Something interesting happened?

Happy? Am I?

Merryl

I won't consider it interesting. Some kids were chasing each other and bumped into my hand, knocking off the bag I was carrying.

Blake

I wish I was there. I could have helped.

Merryl

Someone helped me pick up stuff alright.

Blake

Oh?

Merryl

Just a guy standing there. The can of cat food happened to roll near him. He picked it up and gave it to me.

Blake

Glad you're making more friends. Just be careful in dealing with strangers though.

Merryl

You're a stranger

Blake

That's why I am careful. I don't show myself to you for you to feel safe around me.

Merryl

Why does it sound like you're stalking me?

Blake

Hehe...

Merryl

Never mind. You won't be showing yourself to me anyway.

Blake

Soon, my dear. Soon.

Soon? Why do I feel hopeful? Or even excited?

Blake

Anyway, you can trust me. As I trust you. If you meet some trouble that you can't handle, just call me. Anytime.

Merryl

Thanks.

The truth is I already trust him. I don't know why. I haven't even seen his face yet.
