The girl reached out her hand and touched the man's face. It was him! The one her heart was longing for. The person she had wanted to see for so long that it was painful. It was him, he was back.

She had loved him for so long, she forgot how it felt to be in his presence. She wanted to kiss him, say how much she loved him, but she knew this could never be. He was in love with someone else, she knew that. She knew that someone else claimed his heart and he was never going to return his feelings.

When he left all those years ago, she had figured she might as well move on. He was already in love with someone else, why make her pain last. She had moved on, but after Eriol left, her life was never the same. She had cried for endless nights, the wound in her heart never healing. Then she thought she had met the man that would love her back, but that ended as swiftly as it began. The wound in her heart just grew bigger. She died inside.

Tomoyo forced a smile and said, "Eriol-kun! When did you come back!"

Eriol noticed her strained smile, but decided not to say anything. He replied in the same manner as he answered the phone, "Hello to you too Tomoyo-chan!" he chuckled, "I came back about a month ago. I just finished unpacking so I haven't been able to contact anyone. Oh but please come in."

Tomoyo walked into a cozy apartment. It wasn't too big and it wasn't too small. Most of the items in the apartment were navy blue, 'Just like Eriol,' she thought.

She then found an item that looked like it didn't belong in the apartment. It was a small white teddy bear sitting by the navy blue phone in the living room, it was the teddy bear she had given him, this sparked a small flame in Tomoyo's heart. He had kept it all these years, the way she had kept his. Something she had felt very dear to her heart, he had kept.

Eriol let her sit on the couch and went to get some tea. He came back with a pot of tea and two cups. He poured some and Tomoyo took the cup from him politely. He took a sip and watched as Tomoyo took a sip too, and said, "So what happened while I've been gone."

"Didn't Sakura-chan tell you by letter?" she asked, eyebrows raised.

"Well me and Sakura-chan somewhat lost contact after her wedding." He said.

"Well a lot happened." She laughed, "Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun had twins. Yup, Xiao Chen and Nadeshiko, they're about 4 years old now. They are the two most wonderful children I've ever met. Xiao Chen takes after his father. He's got a huge mop of auburn hair and chocolate brown eyes, Nadeshiko has a huge mop of the same hair and emerald green eyes."

"Really, another little descendant?" he chuckled a twinkle in his eyes evident.

Tomoyo smiled, she loved it when his eye got their twinkle, "Yes well, he's not anything like his father attitude-wise. He's really bubbly and cheery more like Sakura and well Nadeshiko she takes after her father, always very stubborn."

She took another sip and continued her story, "Chiraru and Yamazaki got married two years ago and had a son about six months ago, Yamaki. He's a wonderful baby. He doesn't cry as much as Xiao Chen and Nadeshiko did. Meiling and Touya married a year ago. Now Meiling is pregnant with their first child, she's due sometime is next month. And Nakuru and Yukito, they're doing real well. Their wedding is scheduled for next month and I'll be attending."

She smiled when he noticed that he was shocked at all that happen, "Naoko met a young man name Ryo, she married him about 4 years ago and she also published her first book, and at the same time gave birth to 3 year old, Raina Makizaki(A.E. remember Im not Japanese, Im making these up!). Rika and Terada Sensai married a year ago. They moved to Nagoya. Everyone's really happy, Eriol."

Tomoyo stared at Eriol as he processed all the information he had just received. He looked up when Tomoyo said, "So what did you do while you were gone, and why did you come back?"

Eriol smiled and said, "Well I needed to finish some business. Mizuki-san and I were engaged for a few years before she broke it off because she didn't know if I loved her as much as she thought I loved her. She ended up finding someone who loved her more and they married. I, then, continued to build up my company, you might've heard of it. Raven Noir Corp. When I got successful, I came back to Tomoeda."

Eriol kept smiling, but his eyes betrayed him. It showed something was missing and Tomoyo knew this. Tomoyo did her best to ignore the feeling in her to kiss him and say she loved him. Tomoyo then smiled, she smiled the truest smile she could muster and thought, 'How I wish he loved me, but it's obvious he still loves Mizuki-san.'
