"Come in."
She turns around slowly from reaching high into her closet.
He stands in the doorway, as if on the edge of a dream.
It has been an eternity since they've gazed at each other.
She takes a step toward him.
He takes two towards her.
A tear rolls down her smiling face.
After a split second which seems to last forever, they come together in a passionate hug.
The touch sends a shock up their spines.
It has been so long...
He holds her as if he will never let go, breathing her hair and her shirt as if to memorize the fragrance.
She collapses against him, inhaling the familiar sweet smell of his neck.
He pulls her away, cups his hands around her face and smothers her in kisses.
He ends in a long, silent, motionless kiss, as if to preserve that moment for all eternity.
They pull away reluctantly and stare into each other's smiling eyes, trying to express every emotion being felt through a simple glance.
"Hi."
"Hey."
