"Jane!" Maura ecstatically yells as she bolts off the bench.
"Jane," Maura repeats again Jane's name, calmer now, but she still beams Jane's way.
Jane returns a smile of her own - a little smaller, a little less bright - but man or no man, their bench no longer fact aside, there stood Maura, calling out her name.
"Maura," Jane calls out her best friend's name, "Maura hi," she brings Maura into her arms, "You scared me with your disappearing act," she holds Maura, her best friend, close to her. "You scared me," she closes her eyes and lets out a sigh. She tries not to let the hugging of Maura become a habit but, how can she resist. She holds Maura, her best friend, close to her; taking comfort in the fact that at least Maura's here.
"You scared me Maura, you disappeared on me," tears flowed from Jane's eyes, "Don't you ever do that to me again Maura, please don't ever disappear on me again," the words leave Jane's mouth before she can stop herself.
"Jane, I'm sorry," Maura tightens the embrace; she tries not to have this happen too often - the feeling of having her arms around Jane, and having Jane's arms around her but, "I'm so sorry Jane, I'm here, I'm here," she resists the urge to say what she would have if she had not disappeared. Jane's here. I'm visible. That's all that matters. "I'm here, I'm here," she repeats as she holds Jane, her best friend, close to her.
"I'll never leave you," they whisper a promise to each other; their lips platonically close to each other's ear.
