(Author’s note: The last couple weeks have been hell. I’m now at a point where I can do a lot more with my time, and hopefully will be able to update a lot more and answer things. Next week, I should be on time with my writing…depending on whether I’ll be writing on a plane or not. Otherwise, enjoy today’s Valentine’s Day writing piece!)

In Your Eyes
by Miles H. Rost
His plane touched down at 4:30.
By 6:00, he was gazing into the eyes of someone he waited years to see.
“I ran.”
“But you grew since you’ve been gone.”
“I grew up, but for what? We could have been married by now”
She looked away, but returned to his gaze.
“But you wouldn’t be you now. And you, now, are the one I choose.”
He kept gazing into the brown and green pools of her eyes. Reading.
“It’s time.”
“To what?”
“For me to make up for lost time.”
She blushed, still holding her gaze.
“It’s snowing. Come, let’s get warm.”

Good read, but the dialogue was a little hard to follow.
Perhaps, if you wrote who said what with the first line or two, we’ll know who spoke first.
I was going for a bit of ambivalence there. But thank you for the comment! 🙂
Sounds cozy…or something.
It can be.
Very sweet 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
Fun bit of romance. I like the last line.
Sometimes, simple is what’s needed. 🙂
Lucky for him she waited and accepted his return…
Yes, very much so. 🙂
Cold day, warm romance. I’m intrigued by those brown and green eyes.
I think we all are intrigued. Eyes are a special thing, they are.
