KITTY

He was nervous. Him! The same man who had countless times been sharp with others- including herself, always assured in his work… and now he was nervous. She was unable to stop the small smile which diffused across her face. She had been unsure as to if he would come or not, after everything that had happened she wouldn't be surprised if he didn't, but here he was- early.

As she approached closer the smile spread, unable to contain the euphoric feeling which now encompassed her. Tom closed the distance between them, and when he took of his hat, revealed his sea blue eyes which made her pause – lost in their trance.

He on the other hand, seemed to be frantically searching her face for something…desire perhaps? Until finally his eyes fixed on her lips, and passionately met them with his.

Kitty was taken aback for a moment, before finally letting go of all her troubles and giving in to the sheer bliss of the kiss, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. He too held her tightly, surrounding her with his strong arms- his hands pressing against her back

It was as if they suddenly couldn't get close enough to each other, the previous months' torment of desire and longing finally being released.

When they parted reluctantly, both were out of breath as they gazed into each other's eyes, smiling. But then the smile left Tom's lips as he lifted his hand and tenderly brushed her cheek. They bowed their heads together, their foreheads touching, as they breathed each other in. The entire world came to a standstill. It was just them and the birds, and the breeze blowing softly through the trees.
