Prompt: two people experience a missed connection.
Donna moves boxes around in the attic, packing away things before the move into the new place she'd bought with Harvey. They were moving back to New York as they decided that living there wasn't for them because Seattle was too boring. Their new home was outside the city but had a beautiful backyard with a pool. They were both so excited to move, ready to start another chapter in their lives. Even though they didn't know what to do for work yet, they were certain they would find something.
As she moves a few boxes, she accidentally drops one filled with old photos. She sighs, picking each picture up, putting them back into the box until she notices one with a date on it. It was from when she was in her twenties, from the time she went to Paris with her ex-boyfriend, Connor. They were smiling in front of the Eiffel tower. She was about to put the picture away when she noticed a familiar person in the background. She gasps, holding the photo close to her chest before staring at it once more and slipping it into her pocket to later show Harvey.
After finishing up with the attic, she walks downstairs towards the kitchen. She smells the aroma of food being made. Harvey's famous Fettuccine Alfredo. Since she has always been a horrible cook, Harvey does most of the cooking. Sometimes he even teaches her a few tricks. She walks up to him, giving him a kiss on the cheek. Harvey gives her his million-dollar smile and kisses her forehead to say hello.
"How did the packing in the garage go?" she asks, as she watches him pour the food onto their plates. She notices he'd changed from his earlier clothes which must have gotten dirty. Harvey is standing in a pair of grey sweats and a black t-shirt.
"Well, what you would love to know, babe, is that the garage is pretty much done. All thanks to your handsome and hard-working husband," he says, giving her a wink.
She chuckles at his antics. "Okay, tough boy. I wanted to show you something," she says, placing the picture she found onto the kitchen table. She watches Harvey's brows furrow, looking at the photo until his mouth falls open.
"Wait, is that me?" he asks, picking up the picture.
She nods, watching him study the image of her and Connor and Harvey with his ex-girlfriend, Abigail, in the background.
He chuckles, looking back at her. "I can't believe we were both at the Eiffel Tower at the same time and didn't see each other at all," he says, pulling her close by the hips.
"And to think after that trip Connor and I had broken up and a year later we would meet," she says, smiling up at him. Donna couldn't stop smiling at that fact.
"Honey, it was destiny. We've always known we were going to be together forever from the day we met," he says, caressing her face and bringing her in for a soft kiss.
