Overtime

"I know, and I don't care. Maybe it's only infatuation, Robert, but let's live it! Let's take this train and see where it goes."

She was quiet and almost pensive, staring down into her plate. When she looked up, tears were streaming down the side of her face.

I stood up and walked around the table. As I approached her chair, she stood up also and reached out to embrace me.

"Oh Robert, you have given me something I thought I had lost. I feel complete again."

"It was always there, Danielle. I haven't given you anything but the ability to find it again."

She arched her head back and drew my face down to hers. She pressed her lips to mine and I felt my whole being engulfed by her warmth.

The moment passed, and she stepped back away from me.

"Let's clear the table and go find out who's on CuSeeme," she said with a wicked grin.
