She knocked on the door. She knocked softly so that she could leave and tell everybody, "I did try, but he didn't answer."
Silence. "See, I tried. I knew he wouldn't answer."
She began to make her way to the car. But someone wasn’t going to let her walk away.
He stood a few feet away, his back against her car. He had been there all along, waiting. In his arms, he hugged the same bouquet of flowers that had won her heart so long ago. He looked directly at her, but his gaze didn’t hurt.
And suddenly she knew that everything - everything - was going to be all right. More than all right.
He met her halfway and swept her into his arms. He hadn't forgotten how gorgeous she smelled, how perfectly she fit in his embrace. He couldn't.
"I'm home again. I'm home."
“I’m home!”
She wanted to shout. She wanted to dance. She wanted to question. She wanted to run. She wanted to know.
She closed her eyes and the only thing she knew, the only thing that mattered, was that he had answered.
