Fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen twenty,... twenty-one, where in the hell are you?! She thought worriedly.
Before she could count any farther David appeared in front of her.
Millie cried joyously "Finally, I was so worried!"
She threw her arms around his neck, he in turn lifted her up off of the ground and swung her around twice.
Gently he set her down, David buried his face in the nape of her neck, she in turn wrapped her arms tighter around him.
They remained in their warm embrace for a few seconds Millie utterly relieved that they were reunited.
Finally they came apart arms still around each other loosely.
She pushed him away slightly and said irritatedly "You're late, I made it to twenty-one, don't you ever scare me like that again!"
David gathered her to his chest and replied apologetically into her hair "The thing I needed to take care of took longer than I thought, sorry, I didn't mean to worry you."
She smiled kissed him warmly and said contently " It's all right, I forgive you."
David grinned slightly and replied happily "Thanks."
Millie sighed against him and asked worriedly "Is is really over?"
David tenderly cradled her face in his hands, he then gave her a deep passionate kiss.
He smiled and said reassuringly "Yes honestly and truly over."
Millie exhaled and asked exhausted "Good, now can we please get out of here?"
David wrapped his arms around her waist said eagerly "Sure, how about Paris?"
Millie kissed him warmly and replied breathlessly "Sounds great, anywhere is better than this awful place, thanks for coming back to me, I love, you."
David kissed her gingerly.
He squeezed her softly once and replied passionately "Of course, I love, you, now take a deep breath and hold onto me tight."
Millie leaned into him and said softly "Always."
With that she felt the familiar pull of energy and they were flying away from the library and away from the nightmare they just endured.
