10. Chapter 10

This is the last chapter for this story. But, if you liked it, there will be another to follow. Abby and Loki's relationship is not over! Thank you to all who have read. I hope you enjoyed the story and will read the next one as well. Much love-Abigail.

ABBY

I stood there for a long time, just staring at the empty spot on the ground. Dad eventually found me. "Abby?" He looks around the room, and finally settles his confused expression on me. "What's going on?"

"Nothing." I say softly, still watching the spot, expecting him to reappear.

"Come on, time to go home." He places a hand on my shoulder and leads me out of the room.

One Month later

Dad's been training me take over Stark Industries. I try to stay focused on work, but how can I? Every night, Loki plagues my mind. I can't help but think about him. I try to stay hopeful that he'll come back, but how can I? It took Thor two years to come back for Jane. I won't last that long. Happy is training someone my age right now, and he's been trying to set us up. Maybe I'll take him up on that, beats another lonely Friday night.

LOKI

"I have not seen you in quite a long time Loki." Heimdall looked at me expectantly. "What can I do for you?"

"How do you know I am not just looking for companionship?" I try to sound my usual snarkiness, but I fail.

"I don't think I'm the companion you are in search of." He smiles at me knowingly.

"How did you know?" I question.

"I'd say it was my powers but," He motions to his eyes. I know mine are red.

"How is she?" I ask standing next to him, but not looking at him.

"She's hurting." My heart breaks. "But she's going out for the first time soon."

"Going out?" I turn my head to him.

"She's got a date." He refuses to look at me.

"A date?" I cry, my voice cracking. But she loves me.

"She's just trying to get her mind off you. She fears you will never return." His words hang on my shoulders and I feel pain.

"Can I..." I begin, but I'm cut off by the sound of armor clashing.

"Sir Loki." One of them breaths. I turn to find them frantic. "We need you immediately." I glance at Heimdall one last time before following after the soldiers.
