6. The Return
Summary: Moving on...?
"What can I get you?" she's back at Harry's.
"The usual," she answers him, her eyes searching. For him.
"He didn't come back," he sympathizes with her. Feels the need burn inside her.
"Who?" she asks, knowing fully well who 'HE' is.
"You know who I am talking about," the older man smiles at her.
"No, I don't," she shrugs him away.
-----
One night. One night and he has cut deep into her. It's a wound only he can heal.
She comes here every week now. The same day as when she met him.
Three months have passes and she is still looking for him…..waiting for him. Yearning for him.
She wonders how would it have been….if she had just said 'yes' to his 'maybe'.
-----
"What can I get you?" he's back too.
"Molson," he growls his answer, his eyes searching. "….and keep them coming."
"She came back," Harry doesn't like him but tells him. His need is same as hers.
"Who?" he narrows his eyes, knowing fully well who 'SHE' is.
"You know who I am talking about," the older man grins at him.
"No, I don't," he pushes him away, adding a 'go fuck yerself' as an added remark.
-----
One night. One night and she has set a fire through him. It's a blaze only she can soothe.
He has been running from here. From her. Trying to forget her.
Three months later, he has returned. He can't take it any longer.
He wonders how would it have been….if he just had said 'yes' instead of 'maybe'.
-----
She knows she should forget him. What if she can't? What then? She doesn't know.
He knows he has to find her. What if he can't? What then? He doesn't want to know.
She busies herself with her teaching. It doesn't help her forget him. Not even for a few seconds.
He busies himself with his fighting. It doesn't help him forget her. Not even for a few seconds.
-----
'Find him or move on.'
'Find her and don't even think of moving on.'
