It's Alway's Been You

Chapter 3

RECAP:

"I love you too, James." She said and his smile grew wider.

He embraced her tightly, picked her up and spun her around, then gently placed her back down and kissed her sweetly.

Chapter 3

For a moment they stood there in bliss, but it all ended when they heard Moses's voice yell from downstairs.

"You'd better go James!"

James pulled away from Sarah giving her a said smile before he said his real 'good-bye', "I have to go now, but I promise i'll write to you every chance I get. I love you, with all my heart." James kissed her hand and left the room without looking up at her. He could hear her crying and didn't have the strength to watch the tears stream down her face again. He walked down the stairs of the printshop giving one last look around the place and then left. Sarah heard the door close and ran after him.

"James! JAMES!" She was screaming as loud as she could trying to catch up to him. Luckily he had heard her and came running torward her. When they finally reached each other James grabbed her face in his hands and kissed her with all he had. They pulled apart slowly knowing that there were people staring but not caring in the least.

"I couldn't let you leave like that." She said.

"I'm glad you didn't." James grabbed her once again and kissed her deeply.

"Promise me you'll write, promise that you'll be safe, please promise me." She begged after they had separated.

"I promise. I won't let anything keep me from coming back to you, Sarah, ever. Will you promise me one thing though?" He took a breath and watched her nod before he continued, "promise me you'll wait for me." He said with a hopeful look in his eyes.

"Of course I'll wait for you James, how could I possibly marry anyone but the man I love?" She said a little surprised he even had to ask.

"I dunno." He said a little shyly.

"I really do need to go now Sarah."

"I know." He held out his hand and touched the locket around her neck that had once been his mother's ring.

"I'll always be with you, just remember that." He said, "I love you, Sarah."

"I love you too, James."

They shared one last kiss before they parted and Sarah watched as James dissappeared behind a cloud of dirt that had been kicked up from a passing cart.

A week had gone by and the printshop had remained quiet. Sarah spent most of her days in her room staring absent mindedly out of her window only coming out to cook and do other chores. Moses and Henri were trying desparately to cheer her up, but nothing was really helping. Later that day a letter arrived addressed to Sarah...

OK! Let me know what you think! Sorry for all the mistakes it's like midnight and I decided to write this when I saw an old review in my e-mails!
