I remained motionless and silent until Noah drifted off to sleep, before I carefully shifted in his arms and slipped out of bed to get dressed as dawn approached. Sitting down at Noah's computer desk, I penned him a heartfelt letter, revealing my intentions and expressing my deep love for him. My heart ached as I folded the note and placed it on his pillow for him to discover in the morning.
Tears rolled silently down my cheeks as I knelt beside him, being cautious not to disturb his sleep. I tenderly brushed my fingers against his face and pressed a soft kiss on his lips.
"I love you," I whispered, slowly standing up, "Goodbye."
Noah stirred slightly, prompting me to hastily retreat from the room and down the stairs.
"Mina?" I heard his sleepy voice call out as I exited his yard.
