-You need to leave now. - I tried speaking condifently but he could most definitely see the emotions running through my face within the split seconds when my voice broke. - It's been too long, I'm not who I was 6 years ago - Even though these words were coming out of my mouth I knew I was still the same girl. Small and broken, lost in the big world looking for someone who would provide me with enough love and care to make me feel safe again. This time things have changed. I wasn't alone anymore. I had a beautiful daughter that gave me everything I have searched for, for a very long time.

- Elena, we need to talk. You don't understand. You're not the only one that has changed. Let me in, please? - I know I can't avoid him forever but the idea of having a man, who has become a stranger to me in the last years, was a slighty terrifying thought. He has finally offered me the Lily which I slowly reached out for but when seeing my expression when he started moving the box towards me he quickly took it back with an understanding but hurt expression.

- I would really like to do this somwehre other than ona doorstep Elena, but I guess it is too early for us to start. - Without a second thought he leaned in my direction and kissed my cheek. Before I could even react he was long gone in the dark leaving me breathless in the night. Strong howl of the wind has finally brought me back to my senses and I looked at the Lily which had a smal note attached to it 'I'm sorry Angel'. A warm feeling swept through my heart but I quickly swept it away.

Its a very short chapter. I'm so sorry for not being around for so long. This here is to let you guys now I am still alive and back to updating regularly, the second half of this is coming real soon - I swear!

Also to those who are asking - Caroline might not show up in this plot however I haven't made my mind up yet :)
