A/N
So before I wrote the chapter in which Bruno and Mariposa reunite, I drafted out a version of that chapter where things didn't go quite so smooth for Bruno when he returned to his wife. I just found this chapter tonight and had to share!

Tears on my face, I touched the face of my husband carved in his bedroom door. "Goodbye Bruno... I'll love you forever." I turned away from the door and left.

"Mariposa?" Rosa knocked on my bedroom door. "There's someone here to see you..."
"I don't want to see anyone today, Rosa," I said sadly as sat on the side of my bed embroidering my new pillow case with green hourglasses.
"Not even me?" A familiar voice asked.
I turned quicker than lightning to see Bruno. "B... Bruno?"
"Mi cielo," he smiled. "You're as beautiful as the day I left you..."
"No," I said in disbelief. "It can't be." A sob caught in my throat.
"Mariposa..." Bruno said softly as he approached. "It's really me."
No!" I pointed my needle at him. "You're dead!"
"I'm not," he said softly as he threw salt over his shoulder. "I'm right here in the flesh and blood."
"No!" I yelled. "You can't be because- because if you are," I felt the tears race down my face and my voice cracked in the scream. "Then you lied to me!" I threw my embroidery down and sobbed into my hands.
"No, mi cielo, I never meant to leave you alone for so long..." He sat on the bed beside me.
I collapsed into his shoulder. "You weren't supposed to leave me at all. You promised!"
"Yeah..." Bruno put his arms around me. "I know..." He said quietly.

As you can see, this is a bit more of a tearful and angry reunion for the couple. I decided that the happy version was better suited to the story.
