They were a mismatched pair. A couple one would never expect to see together. She was from a disastrous marriage that came about from way too much to drink. He was still reeling from the death of his former girlfriend, remembering how she died in his arms. They had never really gotten along to well, when they were younger. Why now? Why are thing developing at this point in time?
The time for looking back is now upon them. They’ve got one very important decision to make, and so many forks in the road in which to partake. Should they become a “couple”? Should they just go the “friends with benefits” route? Should they just walk away now, and take the safe road? The choices are many, and the decision is hard.
He takes one look at her, and the decision is that much harder. He can feel himself developing feelings for her, but he can’t forget the one he’d lost. She had been his whole world for so long. At eighteen, the world feels so large, but take her away, and it’s tiny and confining. He wanted his world to feel whole again, his heart to stop aching. She made him feel alive again, even if she did drive him insane most of the time.
She takes a deep breath, and lets it out slowly. So many times she’d thought she’d found the right guy. First there was her friend’s boyfriend. Yeah, that didn’t work out. Then there was the man she’d married. What had she been thinking then? Then there was him. He was her knight in shining armor. The one who’d walked through dreams with her. Who’d conquered mountains, even if in her own wild fantasies.
