Alice peered around through the large leaves and looked on at the partially deserted tea party.
The table was covered in broken crockery and teacups, with vines snaking around the table legs. But Alice wasn't concentrating on the table itself, she was looking at the far chair, which had a figure slumped in it.
Alice stood still and stared at the person, whose head was resting on the table. It was the Hatter, his form shaking slightly which made the table quiver gently. His discarded top hat was lying next to him and she could hear the March Hare inside his house.
Suddenly the hatter moved and sat up. Even though she was far away she could see the tears pouring down his face, making his manic green eyes look bigger.
"Alice..oh Alice" he sobbed and rubbed his eyes. Alice tilted her head slightly and something caught her eye. The Cheshire Cat was floating beside him, gently patting his head.
"Tarrant? What's wrong?" he crooned and the Hatter looked up at him incredulously.
"What do you think Chessur? Alice has left" he moaned and slumped back towards the table.
"Oh Tarrant. You knew she had to leave. Living here wouldn't be healthy for her" the Cat muttered.
"Yes but she might have been happy. We could all have tea together and live together and she could learn to lo.." he trailed off and turned his head.
"Love you" the Cat finished his sentence and the Hatter nodded miserably. "I understand. You love her" he stated and floated to the other side of the Hatter.
"Yes.. So much" he confessed and Alice felt her heart leap and she knew what she had to do. Alice stepped forward into view and took a deep breath in.
"Hatter" she said loudly and they both looked up in surprise. The Hatter eyes widened and he started to smile.
"I love you too" she said and the Hatter sat up and started to walk across the table, knocking over any teapots that got in his way, his eyes transfixed on Alice's pale face.
"What are you doing back?" his whispered and stopped at the end of the table.
"I never left. I couldn't" she said and looked down towards the floor. There was silence and then the Hatter moved fast, sprinting off the table and grabbing Alice in a tight embrace.
"I'm so happy" he whispered into her golden hair and Alice felt her eyes well up.
"So am I" she whispered back and wrapped her arms around him. She leant her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. "I'm home".
