She slipped into town, without anyone having a clue. No phone calls ahead, no planning, just a mad, impulsive decision made in the dead of night. She was waiting in the shadows as he approached, totally unaware – his mind focused on the tasks he must face when he got to work. She stepped into his path, the movement causing him to look up. Shock and disbelief crossed his face as he realized that he was not imagining this, but she was actually standing in front of him – in the flesh! He was at a loss for words – never in a million years would he have expected this. They speak on the phone each day, and surely she would’ve given him some clue if she was making the trip. Not this time – she wanted to surprise him! When his shock subsided, his delight in seeing her took over and he grabbed her into his arms. Their reunion was sweet, since it had been many, many months since they were last together. Though he was supposed to be at work in a few minutes, they turned and walked to her car and drove to her hotel. He made a call once they got there and informed them that he wouldn’t be in.

After all the questions were answered about how, why, when, why, how…she came to be there, they forgot the reasons and simply enjoyed being together. He flopped down on the bed and she crawled up beside him.
