It had been 10 minutes.
Toc – toc - toc.
This gentle knocking on the door.
If she wouldn't have known that he stood on the other side of the door and begged for entrance, maybe she wouldn't even have heard it.
It was the same like in their last night, before he went to Paris to come back with HER, breaking her heart another time.
Should she risk it another time?
Should she risk getting her heart broken by him another time?
Should she give in the desire to open the door and take him into her arms?
Was she even able to do it?
She just didn't know.
Carrie leaned her head back against the door and felt the wood vibrating. She saw him in her mind's eye in front of her, leaning against the door frame letting his fingers fall against the door again and again.
What was he thinking in this moment?
How long will he stay there and try to be let in by her?
He knew that she was standing on the other side of the door, fighting with herself. He tried to win that fight.
She had played his massage again and again.
Could she believe him?
Was it different this time?
Had he changed?
While these questions kept running through her head she knew the answer:
Yes, she believed him, everything had changed, even Big.
He fought for her. Even in this moment.
It wasn't like all the times before when she told him to leave and he did it. He stayed. He stayed and didn't give her up. He loved her. Really.
Suddenly she noticed that the knocking had stopped. She panicked. "If you don't let me in and don't want to talk to me I will leave you alone for not causing you anymore pain - forever." His words resounded in her head.
He mustn't go! She still couldn't life without him!
In panic she opened the door and looked down the hall.
But it was empty.
I would love to hear if you liked the story.
Should this be the end? Or is there a possibility that Big isn't out of her life forever) Should there be one more chapter?
