She stood silent outside the hotel room door. She didn't want to go in. Didn't want to face another confrontation with Annie.
"Thank you."
Fiona spun around, facing Luke. He smiled down at her like only an angel can. Smiling back, "No, thank you."
"What for?"
"For introducing me to Allison. For making me realize something that might have taken me forever to realize unless I had received some heavenly advice."
"I told her what you said to Leo. She's grateful for it."
Fiona nodded her head, then faced Luke again, "Yes, but it was really Allison that saved Leo's soul. I just helped."
"It takes the smallest pebble to cause the biggest ripple in the pond." Luke said, causing Fiona to laugh.
"I'll remember that." She grinned.
They both fell into silence, but Fiona broke it when she said, "Forever is a good word, Luke. I should remember that."
"And love. The word 'love' is another good word." He then leaned down, giving Fiona a peck on the cheek.
Fiona reached up to hug him, "Thank you, Luke. Real angel with wings or not, you *are* an angel in my book."
Before he vanished into the night, he called out to her, "Have faith, Fiona. With it, doubt dies." With that, Fiona knew that it will be quite a while for she saw that celestial sweetheart again.
She opened the door, silently entering the dimly lit room. Annie's lamp shade was on, the young woman in bed reading a book and listening to music with her earphones on.
Annie looked up, saw Fiona, and turned off her music. She smiled tentatively at Fi, who was removing her things and began to get ready for bed herself.
"Hey," Annie started off.
"Hey," Fiona replied, just as hesitant.
"Listen…" They both said at the same time. When they realized what they had done, their uneasiness began to slip away.
"Fiona, I'm sorry for the third degree I gave you this afternoon." Annie apologized. "I was just worried, and I wanted to talk to you, but you've been disappearing lately and…"
"Annie, I'm sorry too. I should have told you what I was doing." Fiona cut in. With her trademark grin, "Look, I'll make it up to you. Tomorrow, we'll spend some quality girl time. And I promise to tell you what happened over some ice cream and shopping."
Annie grinned, "You got yourself a deal, Phillips."
By the time Fiona was ready to get some sleep, Annie was already in dreamland. Fi smiled at her friend, knowing that she'll make it up to her the next day. However, the young lady still felt that something was missing. She glanced at the phone, knowing at once what it was.
Delicately, she dialed a number, hoping for an answer. The moment she heard the sweetest sound she has been dying to hear for the longest time, Fiona took a breath, and…
"Clu? It's me, Fiona… listen, I'm sorry for avoiding you these past days… yeah, I missed you… well, I just called to say that—that I love you… yes, you heard me right, I love you, and I'm sorry that it practically took forever for me to say it. But I've been feeling it since before forever itself…"
~~THE END~~
