PROMISE
The night was still young when Cloud came home. He promised he would be home before midnight; Tifa held him to that promise. Now it was ten o'clock and she was just about to close up the bar, for it was a slow night.
Cloud placed his bag on the floor. He turned, flipped the 'Come In! We're Open!' sign to 'Sorry, we're closed'. Tifa walked up to him, reaching out and placing her hand on his shoulder.
He turned, placed his hand on Tifa's cheek gently and brought her in for a kiss. She responded, her hand grasping his wrist, holding him there.
He promised her he would be home. He promised her he would try to be happy, to be with her.
So far, he was keeping good on his promises.
