It was raining again the next day.
Same as the past ten years, she waited by the window.
Still no one showed up.
But that was going to change.
Around 3pm…she was still staring out of the window, when suddenly, a cloudy figure began to appear.
"THAT'S HIM! THAT'S MY DRACO!" she yelled.
As the figure got closer, she could only see that it was the postman.
"Just around to put some adverts and stuff. No letter today I'm afraid." he called out.
"Oh...oh...oh..." were the only words she could mumble.
She flipped through the advertisements and tossed them away.
Same every day, same every week, same every year.
"When! WHEN!" she moaned and again slumped into her leather recliner and had another good cry.
Messily wiping her tears away, she heard another ring on her doorbell.
"Who's that?" she called out, her voice wobbling madly.
"Just me again…" the postman replied.
"Hang on…" she whispered and shuffled to the door.
"I think I missed something. This is addressed to you. It's a package." He took out a little screen she could sign.
"Really? Finally…from my Draco…" she hastily signed her name and had her hands outreached.
He dropped a stalk of rose into her hands.
She frantically looked around for a note and found one.
"Love you forever…Draco." It was signed.
"Oh my…." She gasped and sniffed the rose deeply.
She slammed the door and rushed to find a vase. She found one and filled it with water and plopped the rose in.
There wasn't any letter attached with it.
No information telling her when he was going to return.
"Hmm…well, I still will have to wait for him…" she trailed off, placing the rose on a chest of drawers and standing at the usual place, looking intently out the window.
Well...not much YET...but stuff will happen in a while...
