If he known the thoughts she had in her pretty little head about canceling all of her plans, he would have insisted that she didn't. She had made a life for herself while he was gone...had developed her own hobbies and dreams, things to look forward to and make her life full. He would never want to hold her back.
He offered a small grin as she spoke of not wanting him to leave. It would be a long journey as they figured out how to handle the hurt, the separation, and the confusion that the years had caused. There was no doubt in his mind that if anyone could get through this, however, that it would be them. Their relationship was the only thing he'd truly ever had faith in. "It won't mend itself overnight. But we will get there. Slowly." He shook his head as she thanked him. "No, Laurie...thank you. For even looking my way again. And for loving me, even now."
Her lips were smooth and sweet against his, and for a moment, he was quite sure has heart had simply given out in his chest from the shock of the action. A moment later, he was kissing her back, savoring the softness of her lips. He'd thought of this for years...and had never thought he'd ever have it again. He was glad he'd been wrong.
He eased back after a moment, blue eyes clouded with desire. "Wow.." He let out a shaky breath, then grinned at her. "If we keep up at that, we'll break our 'take it slow' vow." His hand was still on hers and he gave a light squeeze. "Why don't we go somewhere, out of the rain. Fill each other in on the last ten years." Preferably, somewhere without a bed, because with the effect that single kiss had had on him, even being close to her was going to get him revved. And he couldn't do that...not yet.
