She was walking home from school just like every other day. She hadn't seen him in two months. She had lost weight, she was pale and her eyes had dark rings around from lack of sleep. She missed him. She couldn't live without him.
She heard a rustle in the tree above her and she felt warmth building up inside her. A ray of hope rose in her heart.
He was staying on a tree branch, watching her leaving school. She looked horrible. What had happened to her in the time he was gone? Oh, he wanted to go and take her back so badly... He was happy that his deed was forgiven. He came back, hoping that she would return to him. But before anything, he had to be convinced that she needed him, that his return wouldn't be a bad thing for her.
She raised her eyes to the tree. She saw him there. Her eyes filled with tears.
"Come down" she whispered.
Fuck, she saw him! He sighed, then jumped in front of her.
She jumped in his arms, just like she had so many times before, hugging him and crying. She couldn't keep her body standing anymore and she crashed.
He went down on his knees with her. He took in her smell, that scent of lavender that he missed so much, yet had never forgotten. He caressed her cheek, looking deep into her golden eyes. He could always feel like he could see her very soul through them. It was one of his favorite things about her.
She couldn't believe it. What if this was all a dream, just like she had dreamt of him returning so many time before? But she could smell the burnt wood on him, she could feel his gentle touch on her face... Her body ached everywhere. Yet, she was happy. He was actually there with her. They were together.
Her laughed echoed through the air, just like before their first kiss. She looked towards his tree and felt his smile. And that's when they knew... It would all be alright.
