It felt like years.
Those were years of torture of not being with her.
It was time that he had longed to see her, not on paper or a small screen but in person.
His hands yearned to touch her. His arms dreamed of having her under his protection. His fingers inched to run through the strands of her hair to show her how much he cared.
"Haley!" A name that he had uttered a thousand times but only to fade into the thin air.
Now, she stood before her, staring directly at him, within his reach. He knew, this time, she heard him call her name as she looked in his direction.
Of course, he wanted to run to her, hug her, and never let her go. But something stopped him. Was it something he saw in her eyes? Maybe.
"Haley, are you ok? Is the baby alright?" His foot stopped just a few feet away from her, unable to move forward.
