Abby
I’m standing in my old bedroom, surrounded by the furniture that I used to call my own, when there’s a knock on the door. Karl’s voice comes through a moment later before I can even get up.
“Abby?”
I jump to my feet and start smoothing down my hair for reasons that I can’t even begin to comprehend. “Come in.”
The door opens, and Karl steps in. He looks as handsome as ever in his tailored suit, his hair neatly combed to the side. I suddenly feel like a slob in my oversized sweater and jeans with my hair in a messy bun from the three-hour car trip.
“Hey,” he breathes.
I swallow. “Hey.
I can see the surprise and warmth in Karl’s eyes as he takes in my presence. A few moments pass, and then, unable to contain myself any longer, I rush towards him and throw my arms around him in a tight hug.
“Karl,” I whisper into his neck, taking solace in his warmth. “I missed you.”
Karl wraps his arms around me, holding me close. “I missed you too.”
We stay like that for a moment, simply holding each other, finding comfort in the embrace. It feels like we’ve both been through so much in such a short amount of time, and seeing Karl again brings a sense of relief over me.
Finally, we pull back slightly, and I look up at him, a mixture of emotions swirling inside of me. “I’m so glad to be here,” I blurt out before I can stop myself.
