Reunited

"Hi," Jim said warmly, holding a bouquet of pink peonies.

"Hi," Amy replied as she threw herself toward Jim. "I miss you," Amy beamed.

"I miss you more," Jim said, tightening his embrace. Jim then cupped Amy's face with his long, soft hands and kissed her on the lips. At that moment, Amy felt like all the waiting was worth it. She met Jim's longing kiss, and the world suddenly felt right.

"We're here!" Alex interrupted their public display of affection, "at least get in first, geez," she added.

"Hi, Jim," Maddie yelled from the living room.

"Hi, girls." Jim addressed the ladies and walked inside Amy's apartment. His hand never left Amy's.

Amy couldn't stop giggling. After a long time of not seeing each other, Jim was finally next to her- in the flesh. All that Amy wanted to do was bury herself in his warm embrace. Being next to Jim gave Amy a sense of belongingness as if she was home.
