Found you - II

The movement she became aware of her surroundings, joy stopped, her eyes open. There was no waiting, no beating around the bush. She wanted to open her eyes and check if all of that was real?

The light and cool breeze in the room and the white wall that she was staring at was an indication enough that she was out of that cold, damp cell that had a rotting smell to it.

Her lips parted in a silent sigh of relief that she let out. She was safe, she was away from all of them.

Joyce became more aware of our surroundings, and she felt someone looking at her. The gaze was not something that made her scared. She recognised it.

Turning into the direction of it, she found Adrian sitting on the sofa in the room, staring at her.

Her husband, her love, the light of her eyes was sitting in the same room as her. There was so much distance in between them, the distance that she could not be polite with. All she wanted was for him to be next to her.
