The Way She Imagined It

 

The way she first imagined it, they’d be in Paris – the freaking city of love, no less – and she’d be in the most gorgeous dress she’d ever laid eyes on.  He’d be in a classic suit, crisp, clean and suave, and he’d get down on one knee and bring out the most brilliant diamond engagement ring that sparkled under the glimmer of the moonlight.

But life took it upon itself to screw her over and instead of Paris, she got Vegas, with the little white chapel and an Elvis Presley impersonator of a minister in tow.

So much for Paris.

Never Let Me Go

“I can’t do this, damn it!”

“You haven’t even tried.” You remind me wryly. “You can do it. I promise. Do it little by little. Don’t be afraid. I’m right here.”

My lower lip quivers. “You won’t let me go, right?”

“I’ll even catch you if you fall.” You wink.

I suck in a sharp breath, gripping the handles tightly. I can do this.

Hesitantly, I begin to move my legs one at a time and I felt myself move slowly. I’m moving. I really can do it, just like you said.

You never let go of my bike throughout.

Advesperascit

Fleur stands by the window; a hand resting lightly against the window pain as she watches the approaching evening, taking away the yellows, oranges, reds and pinks in the sky.

Slowly but surely, it appears – one beautiful full moon.

She sighs, lowering her eyes until her gaze falls on him, watching as he sits outside on the soft sand and gazes up at the moon.

Bill will never be a werewolf.

But he will always be drawn to the moon from now on.

Fleur sighs once again, grabbing a nearby blanket, and joins her husband out under the pale moonlight.

One Year Later

They made a promise a year ago.

“He’ll come. He’ll come.” She whispered to herself again and again. “He won’t break a promise.”

She was freezing, literally shaking in her boots. The snow fell faster but she once again hoped that he’d come.

She beamed when she saw him, holding an umbrella in his hand. He came closer. She sighed, not quite believing they were finally face to face again.

“Mike.”

“We made a promise, remember?” He whispered. “But why is life so unfair, April?”

She didn’t bother to choke back her sob.

He wouldn’t hear her – see her – anyway.
