Dance with me tonight

The moment he'd been working towards for months was finally his. He had Phoebe within his grasp again and there was nothing better in the world right in that very moment. He had tried to imagine what it would be like to see the russet woman again after so long. He'd imagined some scenarios where she would never talk to him, some where she would come rushing back into his embrace and still others where he never found her again. He thanked every god that existed that he'd been able to find her and that she'd come to meet him. He wasn't entirely sure if she'd come here because she too had missed him or she was here to tell him that she'd moved on and had found someone else, but he didn't care right then. He just wanted to hold her and pretend that the past few months had never happened. He wanted to pretend that everything was like it had been before the storm; but that was all wishful thinking of course.


He felt the russet woman tremble against him, her smaller body leaning heavily against his own. He would gladly take on her weight, supporting her with his large mass he held her, breathing her in, taking her in. It had been so long since he had touched her and he didn't realize how much he'd missed her touch until now. His heart thundered in his chest and he had to swallow a few times to get rid of the lump that had formed in his throat at the sound of her sobs. Oh my Phoebe...please don't cry...don't cry anymore. I'm here. I found you. I've come back...I need you to know that I never left you. I never abandoned you. I've spent these months trying to recover from the storm and find you...every single day was a fight to find you and I finally have...I love you so much Phoebe...Please forgive me...


His own voice was beginning to break, thick as emotions surfaced. Phoebe was no longer just a figment of his dreams, a distant memory that was almost lost. She was real and she was here and she was his. Or at least, he hoped she was. He couldn't live without her, he knew this now. He just hoped she felt the same way.
