Epilogue

Maggie left the house without as much as a glance back. This was going to become part of her past. Part of all those memories she keeps hidden in her hard drive. She had to cheer up, she couldn't let Adam see her in this state she was in, it would make him think something was seriously wrong. That she never changed. When the truth is, she is much stronger than she was then. She just said goodbye to the man she thought she was going to spend he rest of her life with. So it was natural that she was in tattered tears. She convinced herself once more that she did the right thing. Driving towards the apartment she was going to be sharing with sally. Tears kept coming no matter how much she tried to wipe them away.

Adam.

"I looked at the time .it was four hours, four hours till I see the love of my life". I grinned. Adam was going around in circles checking and rechecking everything around the house, even though it was just the skeleton of a house. Nerves were getting the best of him. He hasn't wanted anything to be more perfect than today. Today would be one of those first steps when they would be alone and fate would then be put to the test of bring them back together.

Adam had the chef here preparing all that Adam could remember that were Maggie's favorites. He made sure to have sparking juice instead of wine. He didn't want her thinking he was trying to get her drunk and seduce her. Adam hasn't felt this excited and nervous in a long time. It took him back to those first days when he and Maggie just started dating. This was a fresh start, hopefully he thought.

Maggie

Good thing sally was at her boyfriend's house. Actually on second thought I needed her here, to comfort me and hold my hand. This was not the usual heart break I went through. So I think this time I deserved her being here and comforting me.

I dragged the few bags up the pathway towards the front door. I then put the key into the door and unlocked it. This was going to be home for now. Human resources said it could take three to four weeks before I'd know if my transfer abroad would be accepted.

I dropped the bags to the floor and sighed. Walking over the bags I headed to the kitchen to retrieve a bottle of water from the fridge. I leaned against the counter taking huge gulp of water praying that it would soon settle the raging painful ache in my chest. I hope my anxiety wasn't going to play up right now. I had a meeting with Adam later. Maybe I should try and unpack to try and relax me. Keeping busy usually helps.

With the bottle under my arm I picked up as many of the bags as I could and went up stairs towards my old room.

I kicked open the door with my foot and left the bags at the door. I went over to the window an opened it. Fresh air is what I needed. In inhaled deeply and then turned around and headed to the wardrobe to unpack.

I soon was lost in the task of frantically get my room set up. I couldn't decide if I wanted to change what I was wearing or just remain as I am. Maybe I needed to have shower again to freshen up before I leave to meet Adam. I should never have made the decision to leave Jason the same day I had to meet Adam. I hope it didn't interfere with how things were going to go between us later. I wasn't in a good mood the last time we talked and I sure wasn't in the best of moods today but I promised i'd meet him today. So meeting him was what I was going to do.

I tried to keep busy for two more hours eventually I just gave up and decided on a fresh change of clothing. I thought to stop by the beach just to clear my mood and my head before I meet Adam.
