"Yeah I know." He assures me with a gentle smile. Then he pops the million dollar question, "What's wrong?" I visably tense up and Liz takes that as her cue to exit. “You two talk, I’m going back to bed” She gets up and leaves before I can lodge a formal protest. I know this is exactly what we need ,but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't the least bit scared. What if this is where we break up for the final time? Can I be strong enough to handle it?
Raising my eyes to meet his unabashedly I let it all go. "I miss you." I admit softly fearful of his reaction. "I miss us. The way we used to be." Tucking a stray hair behind my ear I continue, "We were Hurricane Deluca and Stonewall Guerin forces to be reckoned with. The only thing that affected them were each other." My sight line goes to our joined hands when I suddenly get nervous. "I miss fighting with you. We had such passion for one another."
Bringing my eyes back up to meet his eyes I reply my lips quivering, "We used to possess this fire that would both ignite and burn my senses and now... I can't even feel you anymore. Before I knew what was happening the powerfulinferno that had once consumed my every waking moment had disappeared." Not wanting to be misunderstood I speak up. "I'm not blaming you. I know it's my fault. I shouldn't have left you that night, but I was scared. I was afraid of the intensity of my feelings toward you. I knew that if I didn't get out then I'd be consumed by the caous. I just... I want the fire back."
