Reunion
Arriving early at the cafe to claim ‘their’ table, she ordered the ‘usual’ fondue and carafe, and nervously tried to temper her unrealistic expectations, even though he’d agreed to see her.
A decade ago when she fled Geneva, slinking from their pension into the dark alleys of the vieille ville like a thief in the night, she knew he’d be devastated.
The long-ago familiar click of his step on the age-worn cobblestones announced his arrival, just moments before she could read the years of hurt, loneliness, and undying love in his sad, forgiving eyes.

You tell a lot of story – hard to believe it’s only three sentences! She may see the forgiveness, but the hurt and sadness may prevent him from taking her back – at least at first.

Yes..forgetting the pain is harder than forgiving. This relationship will need lots of healing.

Thanks. Though I don’t do fiction much, this made we want to write more about what happened all those years ago, and the difficult journey this couple will have to make, if their relationship survives.

How sad, yet so sweet. While a whole story, I’d like to read more about them. Well done.
