When Louisa suggested that he should stop talking about it Adam nodded in agreement. It was time for him to just the whole thing go. It wasn't going to change, the whole situation with his parents...err parent...so it was best to just move on. Adam was quiet after he'd spoken, and he figured that Louisa would work her hardest to insist that that was not going to happen to him, and that she wasn't going to let it happen. He prevented himself from looking towards her because they were entering that dangerous territory that Adam was trying to prevent them from entering anymore. Even though the promise should have touched him and made him happy, it just made him sadder as a part of him confirmed that Louisa would never promise him to that in the way that he wanted her to. She would promise to be there as a friend, and a friend alone, and Adam feared the day that that would no longer be enough for him. Would he be able to survive being at Louisa's wedding when she gave her whole heart and love to another man? When she started a family that he wasn't involved in? He knew it was a long way off, but as time went on Adam's hopes that one day him and Louisa might be more was getting slimmer and slimmer.
Nevertheless Adam tried to prevent the true depression from showing on his face, and sat up along with Louisa. "Sure," Adam managed to get out, trying to keep a strong facade that Louisa wouldn't be able to see through. He could make a promise to her...after all he had just gone on saying if the person was important enough it was at least worth trying right? "What should we write?" Adam asked.
The girl was taking out a parchment and a quill, Adam's sad expression going unnoticed by her completely. His silence, on the other hand, was interpreted wrongly. Louisa thought he was just trying to shake off the sad memory of his parents so she avoided looking at him or asking what was wrong with him. She just laid the parchment down on her held-up leg and started writing, "
I'm going to write down my everlasting promise first." She announced, excited for the whole thing. "
I, Louisa Mary Carter, promise Adam Fitzergald to never leave him die alone." Pausing as she stared down at the words. "
It's too sad. I'll change it to; to never let anything breaks our friendship down." Adjusting the words happily, she passed the quill to Adam while her eyes admired the promise she'd just written down.
"
Your turn." She then passed him the parchment. "
It's your promise, you have to choose it." Louisa explained with a big smile. This was really fun to do!
