Why him?

“Why did you fall in love with him?”- she asked me. “What was so special about him?” I smiled and said: “I don’t know. One time I was at his place and he asked me to stay. He said he needed company. That he was alone. He had this tone in his voice, like he meant it, I just knew it was real, like he really wanted me to stay, like he had to hold onto something. He kissed me in my forehead and laid his head in my shoulder. And I stayed, just like he asked me to, and I haven’t left since.” She didn’t say anything, guess it wasn’t the answer she was expecting huh?
