hit the sign

But God, those eyes. Those soft, dark eyes. She turned away and took a deep breath, dering how to say it, and when she finally started, her voice was quiet. Noah, before you get the wrong idea, I did want to see you again, but theres more to it than just that. She paused for a second. I came here for a reason. Theres something I have to tell you. What is it She looked away and didnt answer for a moment, surprised that she couldnt tell him just yet. In the silence, Noah felt a sinking feeling in his stomach. Whatever it was, was bad. I dont know how to say it. I thought I did at first, but now Im not so sure . The air was suddenly rattled by the sharp cry of a raccoon, and Clem came out from under the porch, barking gruffly. Both of them turned at the commotion, and Allie was glad for the distraction.

Is he yours she asked. Noah nodded, feeling the tightness in his stomach. Actually its a she. Clementines her name. But yeah, shes all mine. They both watched as Clem shook her head, stretched, then wandered toward the sounds. Allies eyes widened just a bit when she saw her limp away. What happened to her leg she asked, stalling for time. Hit by a car a few months back. Doc Harrison, the vet, called me to see if I wanted her because her owner didnt anymore. After I saw what had happened, I guess I just couldnt let her be put down. You were always nice like that, she said, trying to relax. She paused, then looked past him toward the house. You did a derful job restoring it. It looks perfect, just like I knew it would someday. He turned his head in the same direction as hers while he dered about the small talk and what she was holding back. Thanks, thats nice of you. It was quite a project, though. I dont know if I would do it again.

Of course you would, she said. She knew exactly how he felt about this place. But then, she knew how he felt about everythingâ€”or at least she had a long time ago. And with that thought, she realized how much had changed since then. They were strangers now; she could tell by looking at him. Could tell that fourteen years apart was a long time. Too long. What is it, Allie He turned to her, compelling her to look, but she continued to stare at the house. Im being rather silly, arent I she asked, trying to smile. What do you mean This whole thing. Shog up out of the blue, not knog what I want to say. You must think Im crazy. Youre not crazy, he said gently. He reached for her hand, and she let him hold it as they stood next to one another. He went on: Even though I dont know why, I can see this is hard for you. Why dont we go for a walk Like we used to Why not I think we both could use one. She hesitated and looked to his front door. Do you need to tell anyone He shook his head. No, theres no one to tell. Its just me and Clem. Even though shed asked, she had suspected there wouldnt be anyone else, and inside she didnt know how to feel about that. But it did make what she wanted to say a little harder. It would have been easier if there was someone else. They started toward the river and turned on a path near the bank. She let go of his hand, surprising him, and walked on with just enough distance between them so that they couldnt accidentally touch.

He looked at her. She was pretty still, with thick hair and soft eyes, and she moved so gracefully that it almost seemed as though she were gliding. Hed seen beautiful women before, though, women who caught his eye, but to his mind they usually lacked the traits he found most desirable. Traits like intelligence, confidence, strength of spirit, passion, traits that inspired others to greatness, traits he aspired to himself. Allie had those traits, he knew, and as they walked now, he sensed them once again lingering beneath the surface. A living poem had always been the words that came to mind when he tried to describe her to others. How long have you been back here she asked as the path gave way to a small grass hill. Since last December. I worked up north for a while, then spent the last three years in Europe. She looked to him with questions in her eyes. The war He nodded and she went on.
