''Say you'll never leave me,'' Leo whispered to Denne, holding Denne closely to her side. Denne, who was laying down on the cold bench, her legs hanging over the bench, was resting her head on Leo's right leg. ''Of course I won't, Leo.'' She whispered, propping herself on her elbows behind her. Leo kissed her on the forehead. 

Leo looked at the rusty playground before her. ''D-do you ever think about what life would be like....'' She was running her hands though Denne's fur as she was saying this. ''Without each other?'' She whispered. Denne took a breath. A puff of fog. She looked up at Leo and drummed her fingers on the bottom of Leo's chin, who smiled a bit. Denne stopped and looked away at the piles of snow. ''It would be horrible without you. I'd be so lonely.'' She breathed. More fog. Leo let out a small purr. ''I love you so much, it hurts.'' She whispered closely to Denne, then leaned down and kissed her. She looked up at the sky. It was getting dark. Leo nudged Denne.

''Let's go home... It's getting dark.'' She whispered. Denne's eyes fluttered open. ''The night is what I like about this place, but if you insist,'' She said, stretching. Once they both got up, Leo moved closer to her. ''I think we both need rest,'' She huffed. Denne nodded quietly. They walked home, holding hands through the wind.
