“I'm 2 tomorrow ,” he said.
“I know.” My 3 was almost a whisper（低声）.I was 4 at myself for being so weak ,but I wasn't about to cry .
“My 5 is early, so there is still 6 time to come to the airport,” he said. Seeing the 7 look on my face, he quickly added, “I promise(答应) I won't leave without saying goodbye.”
I tried to say 8 , but didn't. It's always 9 to keep quiet if you're about to cry . “You promised you wouldn't cry ,” he said to me ,thinking that I was close to 10 .
