Another night in the university library just so I could update tonight. Thank you for your wonderful reviews- every one of them has been so kind about this story and they really start my day wonderfully, as that's when I read them.

Please do continue to write down your comments, it means the world to me to know that you're enjoying this.

Dedicated to everyone who has read this story, and especially to those who have reviewed, favourited and followed. You are truly wonderful!

"Hello Florian," Josie said nervously as she stood on the doorstep and watched the shock that appeared on his face. He clearly hadn't expected to see her and she wasn't surprised by his reaction, she still hadn't exactly processed what she was doing until she had stepped off the train and asked for directions to the address he was staying at. "May I come in?" she asked, the Belgian glancing down at the suitcase she was clutching before nodding and stepping out of her way, allowing her finally into the warmth of his current home. Closing the door, Florian breathed out before he turned to face her again.

"Hello," he finally muttered as she smiled weakly, following him as he slowly moved towards the small sitting room. It was a small house, but she could see that he was comfortable staying there and had adapted well to the new surroundings. He felt comfortable leading her through the building, taking control of the location. "I did not know that you were going to come and visit," he commented as he sat down, staring at her as she stood perfectly still in the doorway, just watching him in silence. She still didn't know what do. She knew why she was there and what she needed to discuss but she still had not worked out how to tell him or what his reaction would be to her revelation. "I was trying to write to you earlier but none of my letters were…" he began before shaking her head, knowing that she wouldn't be happy to learn that all his letters ended up being lists of every feature he adored in her. "What are you doing here?" he asked finally, deciding it was better to face the issue rather than skirt around it while attempting to get the courage to question her.

"May I sit with you?" she asked nervously, the violinist glancing at the space beside him before he nodded, Josie quickly moving to join him. "I wanted to explain myself, explain my recent behaviour towards you," she admitted as she glanced down at her lap, not prepared to look at him yet. The courage that she had when she had knocked on the door, prepared to confront him, was disappearing with every second.

"So you got on a train here to talk to me?" he asked, clearly confused on why explaining herself suddenly became so urgent that she left London to do it. "I return home soon, could it not wait?" he questioned as she shook her head, finally glancing up at him as he continued to watch her. "What about work? You have taken a lot of time of recently because of me. Surely people are beginning to question your absences," he stated as she nodded slowly, knowing that Mr Grove would be less than pleased when Agnes explained the story they had created, that she had influenza caught from Florian and was therefore unable to leave the house.

"I would have changed my mind if I waited any longer and I couldn't let that happen again. I would have found every reason why I should not do this and convinced myself that telling you everything was the wrong thing to do. I can not keep this a secret anymore, it is too difficult now,," she admitted as he nodded slowly, suddenly noticing the desperation in her face as she bit into her lip, trying to think of where to start. "You're right," she began, deciding to be honest immediately, while the confusion painted across his face intensified. What was he right about? "I have been running away from my feelings for you. A while ago I was in a relationship with a gentleman. He hurt me. I don't ever want to be hurt like that again. He also made me feel that I didn't deserve to be loved," she explained, immediately noticing the horror that covered his face at what she had just admitted to him.

"How could he have been so wrong?" he began as they remained perfectly still, watching each other as he began to shake his head in shock. How could anyone have treated her like that? She was the most wonderful, caring person he had ever met and he could not imagine anyone treating her like that. How could anyone have hurt her? "You of all people deserve to be loved," he stated as she slowly moved closer to him, her hands moving to his cheeks as he continued to watch her.

"Florian," she whispered before she finally surrendered to her feelings, allowing her lips to move to his while his hands pulled her closer to his body, Josie deepening the kiss as he held her against him, clearly not willing to let her out of his hold. He couldn't believe this was finally happening, that she was the one initiating contact between them, that she had come to see him to allow this to happen. "Florian," she muttered as she moved her head slightly away from him, a small smile decorating both their faces as he continued to hold her close to his body, refusing to let her go in fear that she was disappear and this would turn out to be one of those dreams that he desperately wished to be real. "I'm sorry that I pushed you away," she said quietly as he shook his head at her, noticing the blush to her cheeks and the small smile that refused to disappear. She was so beautiful.

"You're here now," he stated as she nodded, surrendering once more when his lips found hers again.

It's pitifully short and rather rubbish but I hope you do enjoy it.

The rest of the chapters should be longer as there will be more to put into them but I wanted to just focus on their relationship in this one rather than allowing lots of things to happen and draw the focus away from them.
