She was here. Right here. She didn't hear me come through the door, too engrossed in the book she was reading. I could hear her humming along to a song, similar to the way we first met. I walked right up to the desk, a gentle smile on my face. She still hadn't realised that I was there so I cleared my throat. "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry, how can I help-" she looked up and she froze. Once it had sunk in, she smiled the biggest smile I have ever seen. "Leo!" She leaned over the desk and tried to give me a hug but because I was so tall, she only ended up hugging my torso.
