Part 21:
They pulled apart after several minutes kissing each other passionately.
"Can you repeat?"
"What?"
"What you just said"
"What? Repeat those three words?"
She only looked at him, his arms still around her.
"I love you. I love you. I could repeat over and over again and it would never be the size of my love for you"
He smiled but she stayed serious.
"We need to talk"
"Yeah, I think we do"
She let herself go of him and started walking.
"So, what actually happened?"
He began to follow her.
"Well, I was hurt. One had hurt the other. And I thought I was acting right by running away. Running away from everything. Running away from problems. Running away from you", His eyes filled with tears, "But then I realized that that wasn't right. It wasn't right to run away instead of staying and trying to work things out. It wasn't fair to me. And it wasn't fair to you. It wasn't fair to us"
Abby sat in the seat of the park and wiped away the tears that fell down.
"Then I realized how much I love you. I thought about you all the time. It was when I discovered that no matter what I do and want, my destiny is to be by your side forever"
Tears of happiness and emotion fell from Abby's eyes and John sat by her side. She rested her head on his shoulder.
"My life was meaningless after I went to Africa. And I want to have it back. I want you back in my life"
