“I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately, and I feel sometimes I’m nothing without you.”
I had my hands wrapped around his waist and was looking into his eyes; I could see the love shining through like a beacon of hope.
“If this is the greeting I get, then I can only imagine what the wedding night will entail. I’m getting ahead of myself though. I have missed you so much. I hope you know I was with you in spirit. I had no idea you were going to find your mother. I imagine it was quite a shock to the system, and the voices didn’t exactly make anything easier on you,” William said, his hands on my shoulders and a wide smile on his face to indicate his happiness was right there for everybody to see.
“I’ve gone through a lot, but being separated from you was the worst of it all. I know you still have your doubts about what I did, but I felt I had no choice,” I said, as he stood silent letting me wonder what his response was going to be.
He didn’t get a chance to say anything because there was some kind of commotion outside. My main concern was if Penelope or Tabitha were in the center of the chaos. We went down the stairs quickly and out onto the street to meet aa chorus of excitement and people gravitating towards the edge of the village.
We looked at each other, not quite knowing what was going on, but feeling compelled to follow the masses. We pushed through the crowd, and I found myself staring at the one person I had hoped to never see again. They were holding him, and he was struggling. I could understand their reaction to him showing up after all this time.
“You have some nerve coming back here after what you’ve done.”
I was the only one willing to say what was on my mind, and I didn’t care what anybody else thought of it.
“You obviously know me, and you have me at a disadvantage. I have no idea who you are. Come to think of it, I don’t even know who I am or why I was pushed to come here.”
If this were anybody else, I could give them the benefit of the doubt, but standing before me was the unmistakable image of Jasper. Everything was coming around full circle.
