When he opened the door
He found something he was certainly not expecting. Not even after an eternity. She stood before him, meeting his gaze without fear, showing him all the sorrow and desperation she hid from everyone else.
They stood there
Staring at each other for the longest time. She took a deep breath, bit the inside of her lip. His expression softened; he opened the door wider. Without a second's hesitation she dropped her bags and fell into his arms.
He held her close
Her smell permeating his…everything. The distant smell of lavender wafted through his nostrils, traveled through his mind, sparking off a thousand hidden memories. It slithered through his blood stream, setting everything on fire and causing his heart to sputter. She buried herself in his comforting chest, the smell of cigarettes and a hard working man.
He took her bags
And she walked in. Her brown eyes stung, tears begging for freedom. He set the bags on the floor inside and pulled her close, comforting her, losing one hand in what was left of her once long hair, the other trailing her backbone.
He closed the door.
Okay, what in the world happened here? I have absolutely no idea.
So, you liked this? You hated this? Ideas about what happened?
