to give him a chance to read the message: Youknowhowmuch Alfielovesyou.
The light had gone out of the day. He’d guessed it was an ex. Someone who wanted her back. Someone she’d never mentioned in all their talks together. Why would she? He was just some geeky guy with stars in his eyes. “Alfie is…” she began.
“Let’s rejoin the march,” he said, standing up, not wanting to hear it. She’d looked stung, but he just wanted to get through the day and go home.
He accepted the opportunity for a three month transfer. Liz texted him several times, but he didn’t know what to say. Then he heard she was moving. He panicked, afraid he may never see her again.
He thought he’d just arrive with a card to wish her well in her new home. Find out if she’d really given Alfie the chance he wanted. The stack of cards to Liz and Alfie on the table told him she had.
He’d reached the downstairs hallway when she burst through the door.
She was in his arms before he could think, and within seconds they were both on the floor as a huge furry canine shared in the excitement by knocking them both off their feet!
“I’ve missed you Tom,” she whispered. “What did I do?”
He felt her warmth, the sweet scent of her, saw the softness in her eyes. “I’ve missed you, too – but Alfie…?”
“He’ll get used to you,” she said, patting the dog settling down beside them. “Alfie’s a handful of a dog, but he’ll be better once I’m in the new place with the garden – emergency rehoming, and I just couldn’t say no.”
“Alfie’s a dog.” he said, marvelling at life. “And you’re here in my arms, and…”
“I like it here,” she said, smiling the smile that had stolen his heart.
He wasn’t sure who moved first, only that their lips met, and for the first time in his life he realised that maybe some stars were reachable, and once you held them you had better never let them go.
