1 Chapter 2
My story takes place 10 years after this first meeting. I saw her standing next to a carousel. She was talking to someone on the phone. I began to approach her, all the while thinking of some delicious mind game to play with her. I walked round to the other side of the carousel and climbed onto it. I saw her as it circled round to her position, and what ever I thought I was going to do was taken over by the urge to touch her. So I extended my right arm and as we went passed I very lightly touched her hair. I know that she had no feeling of this, but I didn't care. I had waited 10 years just to be able to touch her, to see her again.
I thought that that would suffice. Now that I had seen her I would be able to go and live my life in Florence again. But, as in all great love stories, it wasn't enough. I had to speak to her. To hear her say my name, if only once, before I left.
I carried on following her in the station. I learned that the person she was talking to was a woman called Ardelia. She was apparently meeting her here. Pretty soon she ended the conversation with this woman, and I knew that the time to act was now.
I walked over to her. She couldn't see me as I was behind her. I was now directly behind her. I leaned close and whispered in her ear, "Why, hello Clarice." I saw her visibly stiffen. I was a bit down heartened about this so I added, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you my dear, I just wanted to say goodbye before I left."
I then turned to leave her. I began walking away, a bit saddened by the fact that she still feared me. I would have thought that by now she would have realized after all these years that I had no intention of hurting her or killing her.
As I walked out of the station, I felt her presence behind me. I turned and she just stood there staring at me.
I know that this isn't much, but I'm still working on the idea. Thanks for all the reviews (
