Remember Me
Claire raced into the hospital room. Her mother didn't want her to go to Odessa but she couldn't stay there after what she had just witnessed. She smiled when the elevator door opened and she saw him standing there. Matt Parkman tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around. His smile appeared, the one she loved.
"Remember me?" she asked.
"Only every other memory," he said softly before hugging her.
"I missed you Peter," she said. A tear fell from her cheek. "Where have you been?"
"It's a long story," he said.
"How's Nathan?"
"He's alright. He's recovering," Peter said. He stared at her.
"What?"
"You look older."
She laughed. "I am. I haven't stopped aging yet."
"Ah," he laughed. "I missed you. I want to hear everything that's been going on."
"Everything?" Claire shook her head. "It's a lot, a long story. You won't even believe it all."
"How did you get here?"
Claire blushed. "I flew. It's part of my long story."
"You can fly?"
"No," she said. "I know someone who can. I had to bribe him to get me here. I had to see you, Peter." She threw herself in his arms. He inhaled her scent. "I thought you forgot me," she whispered.
"I'll always remember you," he said. "I love you Claire."
