CHAPTER 2: A SIGN OF RETURN
ELEKTRA: Matt!
MATT: Elektra!
Elektra hugged him tightly like there's no tomorrow. Tears started to drop from his eyes.
MATT: I thought I'll lose you... (Crying)
ELEKTRA: I'll never leave you again... (Crying)
MATT: Promise me, you'll stay... (Crying)
ELEKTRA: I promise...
They kissed each other on the lips for 5 seconds.
MATT: Thank God... (Wiping his tears)
ELEKTRA: Yeah... (Wiping her tears)
They laughed in relief...
MATT: Want some coffee like the old times?
ELEKTRA: Sure. But I'll order, ok?
Elektra stood up and went to the cashier to order. Later...
ELEKTRA: How did you know it was me by the way?
MATT: Same perfume! Rose oil... You really haven't changed your perfume.
ELEKTRA: (Laughs) Yeah. What happened to you while I'm gone?
MATT: Well, I've been winning some cases in the court and also, I lose in some cases. While you're gone, I'm still thinking about you... I can't stop it...
Elektra smiles.
MATT: I missed your voice, your touch, your fragrance, your face... i blamed myself for your "death." I failed to protect you... I'm sorry...
ELEKTRA: Don't... apologize. It's my fault. I should've believed in you sooner. I'm the one who should say sorry to you not you to me... Ok?
MATT: How about you? What happened to you while I'm gone?
ELEKTRA: Hmmm... Where should I start?
Elektra narrated everything that happened to her after her "resurrection" including about Abby and Mark.
ELEKTRA: I saved Abby from the Hand because not only she's the treasure but she was like a daughter to me.
Meanwhile, at the Natchios' mansion which the Millers resides, Abby is packing up all her things. She's going to New York University to study.
MARK: Are you sure about this, Abby?
ABBY: Yes dad!
MARK: I just don't wanna lose you again...
ABBY: It's ok, dad. They're not coming back. Elektra killed them, remember? Anyway, I'll be fine with myself there. I know how to defend myself. Oh! I'll leave tomorrow morning.
MARK: Ok. Go to bed now if you don't wanna be late.
Abby smiled and went to bed. Mark kissed her in the forehead and said good night to his daughter.
Back in the coffee shop... They finished drinking coffee.
MATT: Wanna stay at my place?
ELEKTRA: Sure! By the way, Matt...?
MATT: Yes?
ELEKTRA: Thank you...
MATT: You're welcome.
When they got out of the coffee shop, Elektra saw an eagle in the tree near the coffee shop.
ELEKTRA: They're back... (Softly)
Elektra's fist tightened.
MATT: Are you saying something?
ELEKTRA: No. We should get going... (Smiles)
When they reached Matt's place...
MATT: I'll prepare dinner.
Before Matt prepares dinner, he turned on the radio. The volume is at full blast. He always does this before he does his daily routine to block the sounds outside.
ELEKTRA: Can I use your shower?
MATT: Sure.
After eating dinner and taking a shower, they slept in the bed. Matt didn't slept in his water chamber but slept with Elektra.
