Walking with her on my arm brings me all the memories of our past. A past filled with memories both happy and painful that I never thought weâd overcome, but yet, here she is, holding on to me as every eye in the gym turns in our direction.
This is how it was always supposed to be. The two of us, together and smiling.
Jillian is dancing with a few people at the center of the gym floor, she halts as soon as she realizes something has caught everyoneâs attention. It doesnât take long for her smile to fade when she sees the two of us together. Iâm enjoying this more than anyone knows right now, and I know Lou is too.
The song switches, and as soon as it does I recognize it. The tempo is the perfect mix between fast and slow before the words beat from the speakers.
Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol.
I used to dance with Lou to this every time it came on. It didnât matter if we were on a gravel road in the middle of nowhere, Iâd stop the truck, crank the volume up as high as I could and leave the doors open before pulling her in front of my truck and wrapping her in my arms.

I donât even know what this means, but I do know one thing.
I want her, and I want to work on whatever is left between us. If thatâs something she chooses to do. The last thing I expected when I came home was for the two of us to rekindle any old flame we had. My therapist had one goal in mind, and that was to get my head straight. That required me getting things off my chest to Lou about why I left.
Iâve done that now, but Iâm not done with her. I could never be done with her.
Leaning forward until my lips are hovering just above her ear, I whisper, âItâs just the two of us, no one else, baby.â
Sheâs silent for a second before the slight tilt of her head gives me the okay Iâve been waiting on. I lead her to the dance floor, spinning her to face me when we reach the center and pull her into my arms. I hold her close, like Iâve dreamed of doing all this time. Her ear is pressed against my
