Tony reaches out his arm and Eilis takes it watching in fascination as the sun glints off his eyes and tanned skin. He pulls her up close to him and they begin to dance. They don't need music for that, the music is in their head and it's always the same music. They run and dance, and he holds her close to him.

"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me Eilis." He says nuzzling her ear.

"Oh Tony. I couldn't be more lucky and happy. How did I ever deserve you?" Eilis says and closes her eyes as she looks up into the sun.

"It's so nice of your ma to take care of the kids so that we can have a day out in Ireland." Ellis continues.

"Well you know she loves the kids to bits. Just as I do. Just as you do." Tony says.

"Do you think we'll always be this happy?" Eilis asks.

"Yes. Now come on. Let's dance. I hear a tune coming." Tony says and Eilis laughs. The two of them dance into the sun. She lets the sun burn on her skin hoping that it doesn't leave her red.

"Hmmm, Tony." Eilis murmurs.

The birds chirp outside and a ray of sunlight reaches in through the window to caress Eilis' face and gently wake her from sleep. She slowly opens her eyes and the first thing she sees are Jim's eyes. Still in a half asleep state she smiles and he begins to caress her cheek, alongside the sunlight. But when Eilis looks properly there's a small frown on his face.

"Jim?" She asks quietly.

He shakes his head and Eilis is too tired to prod.

They lay there together for what seems like an eternity but as the time passes so does Eilis' mind slowly wake up from her daze. The smile begins to disappear from her face as she realizes what happened last night. Jim takes away his hand from her cheek as if giving her the space to process or maybe even run. But she doesn't want to run.

"I'm not running." Eilis says out loud. That seems to bring back the smile to his face.

Eilis disentangles herself from Jim.

"Breakfast?" she asks.

"I can make it." he offers but she waves him off.

"That's alright. My mind needs to wake up from its daze. Making breakfast will get me on my feet again." She explains as she puts on a robe. He follows not far behind.

"It looks like a beautiful day outside. We could…have a picnic if you wish. There's a nice spot not far from my house." Jim says unsurely, almost as if he were afraid to even offer this idea.

"That would be nice."

After breakfast the two of them head to his place. Eilis' heart begins to race as it reminds her of the last time she was here. She ran out and as far from Jim as she could after she did what she had wanted to for so long. Given in to Jim. Not fully. That only happened last night. The memory of last night brings a blush to her cheeks and she has to look down.

The day goes by slowly yet so quickly at the same time. The fruits disappear from their picnic basket faster than the sandwiches, and the lemonade is nearly gone as well. It looks like the sunset is coming. They didn't talk about them, or about Brooklyn, they just talked and lazed about, enjoying each other's company and it was wonderful. Eilis wished she could stay forever but knows she can't.

Jim looks at Eilis and she smiles back but there's a frown on his face. She reaches to caress the wrinkles until the frown disappears. She waits hoping that Jim would talk to her.

"You called me Tony." Jim says and this shocks Eilis. She doesn't remember calling him that at any point.

"I…did I?" she asks.

"In the morning as you were waking up." he says.

Eilis looks back to the morning. She remembers Jim's stead hand on her cheek, the sunlight pouring down on them, and the comfortable feeling in her after a night of bliss. And…

"…the dream…" she mutters.

"Hm?"

"I…I must not have been fully awake. I had a dream."

He looks at her waiting for her to continue.

"It's not really important. Tony and I were dancing so I guess I must have said his name."

As soon as she says this Jim takes his hand out of hers and looks out to the hills. A dark cloud settles upon them.

"You dreamt of another man while you were with me." he says but it almost seems like he is talking to himself.

"He's my husband Jim. I didn't mean to dream of him, I cannot control dreams. It was just a dream."

"Do you just miss him so that you wanted company?"

"What? How could you…Who do you think I am?"

"I don't know Eilis."

"I do not wish for such company when I am lonely. I wanted to be with you. And it is selfish of me, I know that. You have every right to hate me for what I did to you all those years ago. You have every right to hate me for wanting you right now. But don't hate me because I had a dream. A dream of a man I love dearly. This is the reality Jim. I love my husband."

He looks away at the last bit, the words stinging his heart.

"Then who am I? Because you have to know that I will always wait for you Eilis, always. But who am I?" he says and it tears at her heart. A tear pushes itself out of her eye and she lets it drop onto her skirt. Suddenly it seems like the most fascinating thing in the world.

He reaches out, touching her chin and lifting it up, forcing her to look in his eyes.

"You…you are someone I have always loved. Since I was a little girl. You are someone I should not love. You are what is going to destroy me one day." A small sob comes out of her throat.

Jim leans forward to hug her and they stay like that until she has calmed down.

"Why do you let me do this to you?" Eilis finally asks.

"Because I will take what I can get. I love you Eilis and if I can have you for one month, for one week, for one day, for one minute, I will take it."
