"Kay"

She turns as he calls her name, Miguel comes running after her, he hits a patch of ice as he approaches her. She starts to laugh as she catches his arm and keeps him upright.

"Thanks" he says as he straightens himself back up

"It's the least I can do," she says honestly remembering everything she did, thankful to have lost that devastation that had accompanied those times, "I'm really sorry Miguel. You're my friend, you were my best friend and I tried to keep you and Charity apart. There aren't enough words, there isn't enough time in the word for me to ever make that up to you." I The words may have seemed out of place if anyone had been listening to them, but the words were long overdue. /I

"I don't care about the words Kay, I just want to know if I have you back."

His eyes gaze deep into hers and he cannot see anything beyond their beauty, I had her eyes always been so enchanting, so captivating, so soulful? /I "I'll always be here for you Miguel. As long as you want me I'll be there. We're gonna be family tomorrow, you know what means."

"Forever"

She smiles softly at him "Yea, forever."

"I could never imagine my future without you in it." He says as he shakes his head, "You've always been there."

"And I always will be. I really have to go though, I told Uncle Hank I'd meet him at his car."

"You're leaving?"

She looks down at her coat and bag and then back up at him "Did you think I was going to buffet table?" she laughs for seemingly the hundredth time that night.

He looks at her attire "I dunno, I thought just a walk."

She raises her hand up to reveal a small black bag "With my pocketbook?"

"I was supposed to notice that thing?" he laughs "It's the size of your hand."

She smiles at him once more, "No I'm going, I've been feeling kind of cruddy for the past couple of days. I figured I should go home and get some rest before I pass out at your wedding, I can just imagine how much my Mom would appreciate that."

"What's wrong?" She smiles as she sees the concern in his eyes, after all she'd done to him, I he still cared, /I he could still love her as a friend.

"Nothing serious, don't worry. I'm just a little rundown, I need a few good nights of sleep and I'll be fine."

His hand automatically reaches out to her shoulder "You sure?"

She places her hand upon his "I promise Miguel, no more lies."

I He doesn't want to let her go, /I he doesn't want her to leave, not now, not when he just got her back, but he had no choice "Hank's flashing his lights, I'll see you tomorrow." He leans into her and kisses her cheek and whispers "Don't leave me again."

"Forever" she whispers back and turns and starts walking to the car as quickly as she could, hoping he wouldn't see the few tears she couldn't keep within her eyes.
