QUOTE : Ben launched himself from the building.<br /><i>BEN!</i><br />For the second time in two nights, I watched in horror as Ben sailed through the air. His arms pinwheeled as he dropped toward the shimmering inkblot below.<br />Ben hit with a thunderous splash and disappeared beneath the water. Heart in my throat, I willed him to resurface. <br /><i>Ben. Ben, are you okay?!</i><br />My bond with Ben grew fuzzy. Tenuous. Then it broke altogether. Frantic, I unleashed a swell of love for Ben I didn’t know existed. All my hopes and cares burst outward. In a split second, I bared my soul. <br />The water rippled.<br /><i>I never knew you cared.</i>
