Finding Love Where you Left it

"I don't wanna end us."

Without looking up he replied, "But we just agreed to end it."

"I know, but you know what, I changed my mind. I'm a women I am allowed." She said the last part looking at the top of his head covered in his dark brown hair she loved to run her hands through.

He looked up at hear unable to believe what he heard; hoping he heard correctly. "You don't wanna throw in the towel on us."

"No!" She yelled standing up exasperated at the situation. "I never did, but I thought you did and I am not trying to trap you into marriage."

"I only agreed to a divorce because I thought it was what you wanted." He said looking at his midnight haired wife. Looking at her he realized he would never be able to love anyone the way he loves her, never.

"Then let's try." She pleaded. "Let's try to work this out, because I love you Jonathan, I always have."

"And I have always loved you."

"Then what the hell we were about to do!" She said staring at the ceiling again trying to avoid looking at the bright light installed so they could see what they were doing clearly when it was dark and they were cooking dinner together.

"We were about to do something to make the other person happy, even if it meant we were miserable. That my koala bear, means that we still love each other and can make this work."

"Koala bear? You haven't called me that in months." She said finally breaking down into tears.
Jonathan went to her in that moment and grabbed her and held on to her with all his might while she cried. "I'm so sorry my koala, so sorry."
