Together Again

As Amy read everything he had prepared, AJ drew her close to him, breathing a sigh of relief and pleasure when she did not object.

She asked softly, "AJ, you did all this even before we knew each other?" Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at him and bit her lip.

All the righteous anger and feelings of betrayal were now mixed with gratitude and other emotions towards him. She had the urge to apologize. 

Sensing her emotions, AJ took the file from her and kneeled in front of her, holding her hands in his, "Was there a time when I did not know you?  You've seen the entry in Grandpa's memoirs, haven't you? Somehow, you were always close to my heart."
