Obviously, Alan had broken a barrier that Gwen had forgotten how tight she had it locked inside her; as the words started to flow, he took her by the hand and led her to a couch that faced the windows. The sun hand finally set and the city lights had taken over . . . no need to turn any lights on in the condo.
Alan handed her the box of tissues from the end table . . . giving her another few moments to collect her thoughts. Pulling her head down on his shoulder, "I don't think you need to worry about that, Gwen; I'm not sure I could let you get away. When I saw you at the office yesterday afternoon, I didn't know what to think . . . it took me a few minutes to realize that I might possibly have you back in my life."
"Gwen, honey, we need to take our time . . . but I want you to be with me."
