I lay back on my bed as I remembered.  Even years after I met him, it still felt as if that had happened only yesterday.  I still could remember the pain of thinking that I would never see him again.

  “Esme,” he said as he came into our room, I had been so caught up in my recollections that I hadn’t heard him coming, “Are you alright?”

  “I’m fine,” I muttered, even after all this time my motionless heart still felt as if it jumped whenever he said my name, “I was just remembering.”

  “Remembering what?” he asked as he lay down beside me.

  “Surely you can guess, my beautiful angel,” I said softly as I turned on my side to face him.

  “The day we met,” he said as put his hand to my face the same way he had done so long ago.

  “Yes,” I whispered as I leaned towards him.

because I have gotten slightly bored of it and I think everyone else has too.

I will continue (and finish it; I think in several more chapters - maybe 5?), when inspiration chooses to pop back into my mind.
