43- Closer to You

“Anna, what’s going on?”

“I was just thinking about my childhood.”

“Oh, God, I’m so sorry honey. You know I wouldn’t have mentioned it if I knew it would make you sad.

“I know, It was almost like I was back there again for a minute. Weird right?”

“Not at all, it seems like we can’t get a break lately.”

“You? I thought you were never stressed?.”

“Hey, I’ll have you know that the night of our anniversary party was one of the most stressful nights of my life.”

“Really and why is that?”

“Seriously Anna, I almost lost you that night. I have a strange feeling that if I’d not managed to explain that night that I might not have seen you again.”

Anna felt a sick trickle of fear as she realized just how close John was to being right.

“You wouldn’t have let me run away, you like to save people, even from themselves.”

“Anna.,” John said softly as he reached for her hand and they both remembered the night that changed everything.
