She didn't know what to make of it
His forever sore expression
Two days before she knew

His body slumped, his hands were cold
His heart crisscrossed in locks
Two days before she knew

Her kiss was mess with teary eyes
She didn't know that she had done nothing wrong
Two days before she knew

Was it more than just an introspective week?
The quiver in his voice said 'yes'
Two days before she knew

Was he hiding something?
Of course he was
It was two days before she knew
He was fatherless

Ling's backstory - it tells of the time before she knew about Zane's father, but after he already knew.
