52.3 Reunion

It has probably been close to an hour since I let Lise cry her heart out. We were still entangled in each other's arms, and while she had stopped crying, we still remained in the same position we had started with; reveling in each other's warmth that we had sorely missed for over a year. If there was a way to make this last forever besides killing us both in a cryogenic chamber, I probably would've taken it. But alas, all good things must come to an end.

Disentangling myself from Lise's grasp, she looked at me with a painful sense of longing as I reorganized my thoughts. I knew this was probably a bad time, but there was just no other time for me to do this. And I might just forget about it later if I put it off now.

We'll have more time to reconnect later. But for now, "Lise, please talk to me."
