Bill ended the kiss, then smiled into Abbie's eyes so intensely.
"I feel like I'm cheating," Abbie whispered.
"No," Bill replied, shaking his head. "This is not cheating ... We are just expressing longing," he continued.
"Have you ever missed me after you married Steffi but haven't met me yet?"
"I always miss you... It's so hard to forget you." Bill caressed Abbie's lips. "I did marry her, learned to love her and it worked...but I could never get you out of my heart... That's why, when I saw you at the party, I immediately tried to find you..."
"Why?" whispered Abby.
Bill shook his head. "I don't know ... at that time I just wanted to meet you even though my goal was not clear."
Abbie smiled faintly, then caressed Bill's jaw while looking into his handsome face.
"That time I was so nervous… I didn't dare to talk to you for long….I always feel guilty because I hurt you by preferring Antonio," she said.
