In anticipation of your arrival I patiently pace the length of the room while checking my appearance. It has been a while since we had last set eyes on each other. My mind raced at all the different scenarios that could occur upon our reunion. You had sounded glad to finally hear from me, and you had wanted to come and see me, but still , I felt nervous. A sound downstairs, I rush to the veranda and peer downwards. There you are. Our eyes meet and a smile spreads across my face, my cheeks are instantly flushed by the warmth I feel. Quickly I descend. Your smiling just as widely as I supposed I am by now. I slowly approach you, you extended your hand out to me in a gesture of some of kind, more of a “Come back to me”, question like gesture. I do not even need to think, for as I walk closer towards you all I see is your face and my hand gently accepts yours and our palms are slowly squeezed together in agreement of our togetherness.
