They sat on a bench and talked for hours, about everything, in both
of their lives. Alistair told Beth all about Katherine, Sheridan,
everything. Beth talked about Luis, love, her feelings of being neglected
as a child by her mother. For the first time in several years Alistair
talked with someone and was actually interested in what they had to say.
He looked at Beth with love in his eyes, he had no idea what was going on
with him, but he knew his only regrets were that this love had been hidden
from him for so long.
Beth stopped talking and looked into Alistair's eyes, his eyes had always seemed so dark and distant, but now she felt like she was looking right into him, like he was opening up his soul to her. They kissed again, with even more love surging through the kiss then the first, Beth began to weep.
"Beth, what is it?" He genuinely cared.
"I don't know, I feel so strange, I just don't know what to do." Her feelings of love for Alistair were scaring her, but she wouldn't trade them for anything. Even Luis.
"Come with me, Beth." He held out his hand and they stood, Alistair led her to a long black limousine .
~*~AT THE CRANE ESTATE~*~
After being led through the mansion they came to a door, Alistair opened it and motioned for Beth to walk in. There seemed to be a wall of darkness through the door, she walked into it and everything went dark. She heard the door close and soon the lights faded on and Beth saw what was probably the most beautiful room she had ever seen.
They slowly walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. They embraced one more time, this time lasting for several minutes.
"I love you Beth." These words rolled off Alistair's tongue so smoothly, even though he had swore never to love again.
"I love you, Alistair." They kissed once again, and one last tear ran down Beth's face.
