Archieā¦Just a short Reflection
By: SnowWhite
Up until that day Archie realized that he really knew nothing about Lexie's past.
He knew she was from Glasgow because of her accent & he knew that she had been working at Glenbogle for a few years before he came back, but that was it.
He had no idea that her dad had walked out when she was five, or the way that her mother treated her. And he especially didn't know that she had been a runaway & a street kid.
In fact that day when she told him her story was the day that he truly understood who she was and what she had overcome. And he found that it not only strengthened his already strong opinion of her. He wanted to help her, to take away the hurt, to protect her.
He wanted to tell her how great she was & how beautiful, exuberant & how loved she was- and he did. Embracing her in his arms he felt like they had grown closer. Every year a bit closer.
He didn't know how they ended up kissing- not once, but twice.
It was probably just for a bit of mutual support. They'd both felt a bit down & needed some reassurance. The last thing he'd expected was for Katrina to walk in on them.
But she did. And he didn't know who was more at a whitsend- her, Lexie or him.
