She had never been so happy as she had been fro the past months. She did everything for herself, and found things she never knew about herself. She and her mother had reconciled. She had re-connected with old friends, and made new ones. Her editor said her writing had reached a new level.
She had just got the mail. She went through it, the usual junk and bills. There was a news magazine. The item which held her attention was a letter from her lawyer. Her divorce had gone through. She smiled. She and her ex still talked occasionally. He understood what she did, why she did it. He was happy for her, that she had truly found herself.
After looking through her mail she opened the magazine, and there he was. The article was an interview in light of his success. She eagerly read the article, taking in all she could from it. She remembered their conversation, the way it had affected her. She remembered their first and only kiss, how good it was, how bad it was. She finished the article, reading that he was currently living in New York city.
Without thinking about it she found a telephone book to look up his address. She prayed he wasn't unlisted. As luck would have it, he wasn't, and it wasn't too far from her.
He opened the paper and began to read. He scanned the paper until he found her piece. She was good. He had followed her work since she had graduated. He hadn't talked to her in so many years, but he had never quite gotten over her. He had heard through the grape-vine about her divorce. He began to read the article, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.
She didn't know why she was here, but for some reason she felt like it was the right thing to do. She couldn't tell if she was more nervous or excited, but she didn't care. She knocked and after a moment heard footsteps from inside. The door opened and she froze.
He opened the door and couldn't belie what he saw. He couldn't help the smile which overtook his face. There eyes met and both of them knew.
-"What took you so long." he said
she walked inside.
-"I had a few stops on the way."
He closed the door.
The End.
