It had been months, Alice wasn't anywhere near to getting over Alfred, she still couldn't look at Maddie, and she never took off the necklace. but Alice worked in the garden that she had planted for Alfred. She had maintained the flowers. "those are beautiful," someone said. their voice sounded hoarse.
"They were, at one time," Alice said, her own voice hoarse from the nights of screaming for Alfred, begging for him to come back, to make the fire in her veins to be smothered.
"Why are they not beautiful now?" the stranger asked.
"Because the reason they were created is dead, after he died… everything become pointless, sleep was lost, my voice, I am nothing without him," Alice said. "He wrote a letter, no one else could tell me… So he wrote it, with his own words, his own soul was poured into the words. But nothing he could've written would have ever been able to console me," Alice said with a whisper.
"What if he himself came back?" the stranger asked.
"A cruel joke from god," Alice said. "He wrote with his own two hands, he told me through the paper that he would never be found..." Alice said. "I still wear the necklace he gave me before he left for the war he had been anticipating for years," Alice felt the tears fall from her eyes. She looked down at the black cloth of the dress she wore.
"Turn around," the stranger said. Alice did as she was told and she saw Alfred. He had the beginnings of a beard he had bags under his eyes. his hair was greasy and tangled and long. She looked in the man's eyes and saw the exact eyes from the last time she saw Alfred.
"s-sir… I apologize if I am bothering you but may I inquire your name?" Alice asked her voice shaking. Alice didn't want the pieces of her heart to come back together yet… if this really was a cruel joke she didn't want her hopes to be revived just yet. The man was cruel, he just looked over Alice's face while Alice waited for the name. "p-please?" Alice asked.
"I look at you and I see a woman who had been beaten down all her life… her parents sold her to a man's father… she fell in love with the man, and he in turn fell in love with her. He went to fight for a war… he now had a seed of doubt for… because he loved this woman so dearly. He broke her heart… but now he's back. The woman asks for the man's name and he answers, with their tale and his name… Alfred f. Jones." He said looking at Alice. Alice moved as fast as she could. She ran into Alfred's arms. The two fell to the ground but Alice didn't care. Alice felt all the pain in her body leave the moment he gave her his name. She cried in Alfred's chest drinking in the furmillure scent. As she had so many times before, she kissed him. She showered his face with kisses. The sick feeling in her body left. She felt as if she could fly if she was commanded. She loved Alfred… and he loved her… she loved him with all her heart. The only thing she wanted to do was get married.
"your late you damned bastard," Alice sobbed.
"I'm sorry, I got held up," Alfred said. Alfred and Alice sat up and kissed once more before going in the house.
Alice walked hand in hand with Alfred. She got to wear the dress she had been making for the entire length of the war. She had enough time to give it all the embellishments she wanted. She looked beautiful in her dress and she loved the man she was with. And she loved how he was a tangible presence that gave her endless fountains of hope. She loved this man more then she would ever know… more then anyone would ever know… she finally got her wish to be able to spend her entire life with someone, whom she loved dearly. And for the first time… they loved her just as much.
