The Reunion (Part 1)

chapter 32

On Tuesday, they met again. This time they had decided to go out, Maya had taken Carina to a restaurant and then to the cinema. During the movie, the Italian girl took the blonde's hand and held on to it until they reached the car.

The blonde took her home and they both got out and went to the brunette's door.

As usual, Maya had sent a message, announcing that she was home and they had exchanged a few messages before falling asleep each on their side.

Carina had sent a last message to Maya the song Sway from the Perishers.

I talk to you as to a friend
I hope that's what you've come to be
It feels as though we've made amends
Like we found a way eventually

It was you who picked the pieces up
When I was a broken soul
And then glued me back together
Returned to me what others stole

I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna make you sway
Like I know I've done before
I will not do it anymore
I've always been a dreamer
I've had my head among the clouds
Now that I'm coming down
Won't you be my solid ground ?

I look at you and see a friend
I hope that's what you wanna be
Are we back now where it all began
Have you finally forgiven me ?

You gathered my dreams in
When they all blew away
And then tricked them back into me
You saved me, I was almost dead

The blonde had responded with the song Life Is Beautiful by Vega4.

'Life is beautiful
We live until we die

When you run into my arms
We steal a perfect moment
Let the monsters see you smile
Let them see you smiling

Do I hold you too tightly?
When will the hurt kick in?

Life is beautiful, but it's complicated
We barely make it
We don't need to understand
There are miracles, miracles

Yeah, life is beautiful
Our hearts - they beat and break

When you run away from harm
Will you run back into my arms
Like you did when you were young?
Will you come back to me?

I will hold you tightly
When the hurting kicks in

Life is beautiful, but it's complicated
We barely make it
We don't need to understand
There are miracles, miracles

Stand where you are
We let all these moments pass us by

It's amazing where I'm standing
There's a lot that we can give
This is ours just for the moment
There's a lot that we can give'

The next morning Carina was on cloud nine, Maya was just a friend, but a friend she was madly in love with and maybe her light heart was silly to some, because nothing was happening between them, but she didn't need anything to happen. Just being with Maya, no matter what the activity, she had dreamed of this for fifteen years.

She had arrived at work with a huge smile on her face, but she hadn't understood when she found herself face to face with Andrea and Taryn who were looking at her strangely.
