Sorry for the lateness everyone...Thank you to Em for the beta… without her I would be totally stuffed!
Y is for Yesterday by Ros
She had yelled, she hadn't meant any of the things she had said. She couldn't even remember exactly what she said, just the sound of the door slamming and the feel of the cold, lonely bed.
Staring out the window, she could almost imagine him standing there. She gazed into space for what seemed like hours.
He had never been a fan of running; he preferred to stay and confront conflicts, not walk out of the door. He stared at the mirror, seeing right through it. His hands on either side of the sink he wondered what she was doing; normally on a Sunday morning she would be laying on the floor reading newspapers, tutting at the rubbish journalists wrote and passed off as news. "Normally?" Hhe wondered at what point he had become so domesticated, used to her company. Finally he smiled.
1 hour later
Ruth's doorbell rang. Still wearing her dressing gown, she lifted fidget Fidget off her lap and meandered over from the front room, yawning as she went. She hoped Harry would be at the other side; as her fingers gripped the handle she paused, as if that would make Harry materialise on the other side.
"Ruth?" Her heart skipped a beat, his voice sensuous with a roughness that sanded her defences away leaving her exposed. "Are you there?" Gathering her composure she opened the door.
"Come in" Ruth murmured, before turning away from him to hide her delight that he had come back. Harry followed, confused. She stopped abruptly and turned, he crashed straight into her. "Sorry Ruth"
"No, it was my fault. So was the other thing, sorry, I didn't mean it, you didn't deserve it, I shouldn't have said it, it was wrong and unfair."
"We are equally to blame" Harry said while closing the distance between them.
"No Harry-"
"Can we agree to disagree?" He said while smiling. He cupped her cheek with his hand and kissed her lips softly. They melted into each other. Any counter arguments Ruth had vanished.
She reminded herself never to try to have a debate with Harry as they stumbled up the stairs.
