I leave her in the back of the cab outside my building and see the doorman standing at the front door ready to greet me with a smile. “Mr. Anwell, it’s wonderful to see you.”

“Thank you, Michael. It’s good to be home.”

I called Kristina when we landed, but my call went directly to voicemail. The flight got in early, so I’m about an hour ahead of my scheduled time to get home. Once I get settled in, I’ll call her again because I’m dying to see her.

Unlocking my apartment door, I smell her perfume as soon as I walk in. It’s been weeks and still she’s right there with me. I put my bag down and head toward the couch, needing to relax after the flight back. I take a deep breath, loving the scent of her and the memories it brings back, and close my eyes. Soon we’ll be back together again.

A noise down the hall makes me sit up, but before I can move to check it out, I see her walk into my living room like an angel appearing just for me. As she walks toward me, I’m speechless at how happy I am to see her.

Kristina looks down toward her hands as she fidgets with them. “I thought I’d surprise you and be waiting for you when you opened the door, but then you got back early and I didn’t want to frighten you.”

“It’s okay. Come here. I missed you so much. I just want to feel you in my arms.”

She steps forward, and I envelop her in a hug that I never want to end as she sobs, “Oh, Ian, you look so wonderful! Are you…better?”

“I am,” I say, unable to keep the smile from my face as I look at her. “You’re such a sight for sore eyes. I’ve missed you, Kristina.”

Leaning back, she cradles my face and stares into my eyes, as if trying to make up for all the lost time between us. “Every night I thought about you and how much I wished you were lying there next to me. I was so lonely without you.”

“No more lonely nights. I promise. I’m done with all of it. I swear.”

“I was so worried that you wouldn’t be able to forgive me for not being what you needed,” she says sadly. “I wanted to be, Ian. I did. I just wasn’t enough.”

“This was never meant to be on your shoulders, Kristina. It was unfair of me to ask you to help me.”

“But I wanted to! I did. I just wanted to be strong for you, but I wasn’t enough.”

I shake my head and pull her close. “No more about not being enough. You’re always just what I need, and you did for me what I couldn’t do. You saw what I wouldn’t. Without you, I don’t know what would have happened, so no more about not being enough.”

Quietly, we stand there in each other’s arms and together find again what has always been so much a part of us.
