Jesse stepped away from the house, which he used to know so well long ago. Combing his hands through his hair he sighed and looked up at the sky, which was pure and blue.

Would he ever see Winnie again? Would they be able to resume what they had once long ago? Or would she forget about him…there were so many questions without any answers.

When Winnie got home that evening she walked through the screen door picking up the mail that was left in the mailbox. There were bills, her daily subscription to People magazine and other advertisements and flyers. Instead she just threw them on the coffee table in the living room.

"Long day at work…" she sighed as she threw her shoes upon the floor and hung her coat up in the closet. Walking to the kitchen she saw a post it on the wall next to the mirror. It had a note attached to it from Ian that said:

Hey- Some guy stopped by asking for you-here is his number…I believe he was an old college friend of yours.-Ian

Winnie cocked her head to one side as she lifted up the page with Ian's note that revealed Jesse's note and cell phone number. Her eyes widened due to her surprise.

"Jesse Tuck…." She smiled as she immediately rummaged through her purse to look for her cell phone, pulled it out and dialed the number on the post –it. She wanted to meet him as soon as possible. Ian was asleep so she could leave without him noticing.

On the other side of the phone a familiar voice said

" Hello-Jesse Tuck here…"

" Jesse Tuck---it has been a long time."

" Winnie…"

" Jesse is it you?" Winnie questioned

" Who else would it be?"

" I've waited so long I can't believe you came back…"

Jesse laughed

" Meet me outside in 10 minutes" Jesse said

" No-uh-meet me at the town dock." Winnie quickly responded.

" Alright-I'll see you there." Jesse said as he hung up the phone.

Winnie walked over to the bay window in her living room as she looked out. The moon was shining so bright as it did that last time she ever saw Jesse Tuck…she never new he would come back-nor was she expecting him to…it wasn't as if she didn't want him to come back…but she waited for years and years-seeing more and more of her loved ones die. All for what? ---All to see the one she loved years ago…however now it was finally falling into place---but was it too late? She looked at the clock-whoa, ten minutes already passed. Winnie quickly slipped on her shoes and head out the door while grabbing a autumn jacket and purse.

She finally got to the dock in town as the tide came in and out from the shore. Her eyes darted around for a glimpse of Jesse until she felt two arms wrap around her waist. Quickly turning around Winnie saw herself in Jesse's arms while being lost in his crystal blue eyes.

" Jesse…" Winnie broke down into tears. Her eyes looked at him all over-he didn't change a bit.

" Shh…" Jesse held her tight in his arms. Winnie was more beautiful than ever, just as he left her.

" I'm here now Winnie look at me…" Jesse cupped her face in his hands.

" Jesse---" Winnie was whimpering " Jesse, Jesse, Jesse…" she just nuzzled her nose into the depths of his shirt covering his chest.

The moonlight cascaded upon them as Jesse smiled at his lover. She was all his now…nothing stopping them nothing keeping them apart…not even time. He picked up her face once again in his hands as he drew his lips towards hers. Winnie put her hands upon his cheeks drawing them in to her. Their lips touched and for just one second, it seemed as if time stopped.
