[18] That fuzzy heart feeling

When I saw her my heart jumped and sank simultaneously. She didn't look very happy but she also didn't look very sad. My original instinct was to hug her, but I stopped myself. "Please don't interrupt me, I need to say this to you..." She greeted me. I nodded, "Ok!" Nina looked so cute when she wanted to be matter of fact and really serious. "I have realised that I made a rash decision the last time when I just left. But I need you to understand that I couldn't be hurt like that and we should have talked things out before it got to the stage of break. I should have looked for a job down here because I was so into you, and I couldn't bare the fact that I couldn't see you every day..." She stopped to gather herself, small silver lines dotted the tears that had started. "But we were both at fault and we should have kept going, made time for us. I have heard that you haven't stopped loving me, and I have to say that I never lost that fuzzy heart feeling either. I have realised that I filled the void that was left by you with the other guys, and it wasn't fair on them...." She stopped again. Nina looked away, but then grabbed my hands and pulled me into her. She looked up at me, "I heard about the plans for that night, everything from you coming to my presentation to you proposing to me," she looked me in the eyes, "I'm sorry, truly sorry for not giving us a proper chance the first time around. I know I broke your heart and I hope you can forgive..." I kissed her. Pulling her into me I felt the hole in my heart filling with her presence. I hugged her tightly. When she pulled away I whispered, "I already forgave you that night you left."
