Wait
Wait.
That was what he told her.
Just wait.
She didn't want to. She wanted to go, wanted to be with him now.
Wait.
Despite her longing, instinct drove her, and instinct obeyed his commands.
Just wait.
Night was passing by. He wasn't there. And she couldn't sit still, like a nervous animal pacing its cage.
Wait.
Sunrise was approaching. The stars had faded in the brightening gray of the sky.
Just wait.
And she did. Every fiber of her being hated it.
But she waited.
Wait for the moment before dawn. And then we can run. Just wait.
The first few rays were breaking through the clouds, and gray would soon become blue. Dawn was right upon her.
And then the wait was over.
He was there, just as promised, wearing those new clothes with his neater hair and his haunted eyes. But he saw her, he saw her obedience and the hope she offered him. And he smiled.
The wait was worth it.
