Lucifer walked into the retirement home and sought for a certain woman. The same woman who had captured his heart and soul the moment he laid eyes on her.
He persuaded the caretakers easily, provided him the information he requested, and was led into a private room where he found her staring out the window.
Flowers in hand, he called out to her the same way he always did.
"Detective,"
The woman perked up and turned her head, a huge smile on her face and her eyes brimmed with tears.
"It's you."
He reached out for her hand and gave her the flowers, a warm upturn of his lips and she was instantly captivated.
"Are you here to take me?"
Lucifer knew what Chloe meant and he was certain she thought she was dreaming.
"I'm sorry it took a while, Detective. I couldn't get out much faster. Nonetheless, I'm here. I'm real."
He led her hand over to his face and let her caress it.
"You haven't changed one bit."
"I told you, I'm the devil. I'm immortal." He smiled that genuine smile only reserved for her. "I have to say, you've aged rather well."
"I missed you, Lucifer."
"And I, you."
The devil kissed the woman's knuckles and in his mind's eye, she was the same exuberant, ravishing blonde that he loved.
"Now we have much to catch up on. Why don't you tell me all the boring cases you've handled without me?"
And I'll always love you
It's been so long I know I'm not supposed to
And I'll always love you
Same as the wind blows
Same as the sun comes up
