It's snowing outside, but the snowstorm ( the reason why Owen couldn't come) seems to be over.
Everything is white and Alicia smiles. She always liked the winter. She likes laying in the warm bed, watching movies, while outside the snow makes the world looking like a fairy world.
She also likes ice skating. She remembers ice skating with Will in Georgetown. She grins as she remembers the moment when Will fell on his ass and said it was planned. She teased him so long.
The streets are nearly empty. Probably are all people celebrating with their family or friends. The radio is playing 'Happy New Year' by Abba. Alicia sings quietly:
"Happy new year. Happy new year. May we all have a vision now and then of a world where every neighbour is a friend. Happy new year. Happy new year. May we all have our hopes, our will to try."
It doesn't take long and she is standing in front of Will's apartment. She takes a deep breath and knocks on the door.
Will opens the door. He is wearing a blue jeans and the pink shirt that he also wore as he said that he isn't interested in anyone else. She smiles a bit, because of that memory and says :"Hi."
He welcomes her also with a "Hi." and asks : "Do you wanna come in?"
She nods silently and goes in. He closes the door and then looks at her. She looks on the floor and harrumphs.
"You wanted to talk to me. About what?", asks Will after a minute of silence.
"I know I shouldn't be here Will...", says Alicia, still looking on the floor.
"'Holy Crap Alicia!", shouts Will.
Surprised because of his shouting, she looks up in his face. But she doesn't see anger in his face, just sadness.
"What comes next? You say to me that you're married and you have kids?", he continues.
"I...", Alicia begins.
"I know that all, Alicia. I know that you are married to the State's Attorney. I know that you have two kids, who mean the world to you. I know that the press is just waiting for something like that. I know that he broke you heart and that you are probably scared that this will happen again. But i will not hurt you.", his voice is soft now, "I just want you. You with all your baggage", he smiles sad.
"I just wanted to say that I think I have made a mistake. I need you Will.", says Alicia quietly.
Will is speechless.
"I miss you...", whispers Alicia.
Will just stares disbelievingly at her.
"What do I need to say, that you finally kiss me, Will?", she asks and bites her lips nervously.
Apparently nothing. Will takes a step towards her, places one hand on her cheek and kisses her with everything he has.
She wraps her arms around his neck and smiles during the kiss.
Suddenly her phone begins to ring. They both groan in frustration. She looks on her phone.
"It was Grace. I promised I will be back before midnight, Will.", she says, still looking on the phone.
"Okay.", he says and kisses her forehead.
She looks up and smiles. He smiles back and kisses her again. This time she can't supress a moan.
"I really have to go now", she says.
"I understand."
She turns around and opens the door.
"Alicia?"
She looks back to him.
"Yes?"
"See you next year."
"See you next year Will.", she says smiling.
And she drives home with a smile on her face.
Just in time, she arrives.
