Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

"Can I still call you 'sister'?"

The young boy lay on the hospital bed, his voice barely a whisper. His once vibrant features were now dulled by illness, yet his dark eyes shone with hope.

"How about I call you Mimi?"

"I want a special name that only I can use. Is that alright, Mimi?"

She could hear her own voice replying, "Alright."

From that moment on, time twisted and turned, and fate took its course. She and the young man were separated, lost to each other for years.
