Mia was making her way through the busy hustle and bustle of Vault when she saw a familiar face in the crowd.

*Thousands of people,

Live in this town,

But I had to run into him.*

She looked for somewhere to flee to,but no such luck.Her heart started beating faster and rose to her throat.She felt a bit dizzy.

*When I saw him there,

On that busy street,

Those feelings came back again.

There was nowhere to run,

Nowhere to hide,*

Alex immediately ran over to her."Hi,Mia!" he said cheerfully.

*He walked up to me,

Looked in my eyes*

Mia felt him near to her like there was no one else there.

*And still,

The world stood still,

I couldn't move,

And all I could feel was

This aching in my heart,

Saying I loved him

Still.*

Alex grinned and said,"How's life treated you? I escaped from Mt Aleph,and now I'm a changed man.It's nice to know you stayed around,I hope you can forgive me for being evil."

*He said,"How have you been?

It's great to see you again,

You're really a sight for sore eyes.*

Mia replied,"Life's been good.And as long as you're telling the truth,I can forgive you, Alex."

*I said,"I can't complain.

Oh,I'm doin' fine."

We talked as the people rushed by.*

Alex smiled even broader."Hey,Mia,remember when I took your potion and you chased me..."

They talked and laughed for a bit at their memories.

*We laughed about old times,

And all we went through.*

Alex moved closer,hugged Mia around the waist and whispered,"Some days I pined for your presence."

*That's when he hugged me,

And said,"I've missed you."*

Mia felt her heart melting.She had really missed him too,and had wished with all her heart that he had lived.

*And still,

The world stood still,

I couldn't move,

And all I could feel was

This aching in my heart,

Saying I loved him

Still.*

A beautiful woman walked up to Alex,held onto his arm and smiled at Mia.Alex smiled and they exchanged a kiss.He turned beaming to Mia and said,"This is my bride.I love her with all my heart."

*That's when she walked up to him,

He said,"This is my wife."*

Mia grinned back,but she knew that once she was alone she would cry her heart out.

*I gave my best smile,

But I was dying inside.*

Alex looked at the sky and said,"We'd better get going,we have to pick up our son from the babysitter's.It's wonderful to know that you're in Vault,maybe we could talk more this weekend." He smiled and walked away,waving goodbye.

*He said,"We've got to go now,

It's getting late.

It was so good to see you."

And then they walked away.*

Mia could feel her heart shattering inside of her as she turned and walked back towards her house.

*And still,

My world stood still,

I couldn't move,

And all I could feel was

This aching in my heart,

Saying I loved him

Still.*

As soon as she got home,Mia threw herself down on her bed and sobbed.
