“I don’t know. But we will. I promise.”
We spend most of the day lounging around and holding each other desperate to make each second count. Inevitably the time has come for her to head back home and I can not bear the thought of one more tearful airport goodbye. We stand in her living room, travel bag in hand and tears streaking the side of both our faces.
“Call me when you get back, Spence.”
“I will.”
She reaches in to hug me goodbye as she had done so many times in the past, but this time it was the hug I had always hoped it would be. It was not the tentative ‘we’re just friends’ hug, it was the lingering longer than normal to feel your body completely hug of lover. And the kiss was not the gentle peck on the cheek; it was a passionate rejoice in finally coming together and a painful ‘letting go’.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
I watch her walk down the driveway towards her father’s car and I smile. I don’t know what the future has in store for us, but hope is a powerful weapon. It can make you strong and help you overcome the greatest of odds and that is what I have; hope.
“Hey.”
“Hey yourself! Get over here!” I walk over and wrap my arms around Dani. It has only been a couple weeks or so since I have seen her, but I miss her wise-ass remarks. “I can’t believe you drove up here.”
“Me either. But I had nothing else better to do.” Truth is, I had nothing to keep my mind from mulling over Spencer, so I made the trip up to see Dani.
“Oh, thanks. How was your Christmas? Did you get everything you wanted?” I laugh to myself at her ironic choice of words.
“And then some. How about you?” Her eyes light up and a smile stretches across her face from ear to ear as she holds out her left hand.
“Jeff proposed!”

When I saw that you had posted I, after jumping up and down screaming for a few minutes, knew I had to read it…. and, well I have come to one conclusion: You are Amazing. Seriously, that is some wonderful writing. I really needed a happy ending after that season finale was to iffy. Anyway, great post. Be well and Happy New Year. P.S.-sequels are always well appreciated.
CaseyG…been reading this fic forever…I can’t remember if it started over on the Spashley forum or not. Either way, this tale has touched me many a time. Brilliantly articulated. You put these girls through so much, allowing them to face the pain and hurt of life and love, before they could finally come together. A much needed path to take in the arena of true love. Their actions, decisions, and thought processes, though at times irrational and full of fear, were so real and utterly tangible. Love is almost never about saying the words, brushing past the fear, and putting it on the line within a moments notice. It seems so complicated and terrifying that its simplicity becomes anything but that. An emotion just is; it exists, naked, until we try to manipulate it to our liking. Your Spencer and Ashley couldn’t just say the words…they had to allow it all beat them silly until the simplicity of it all shone through. Somehow, the journey up until the moment of clarity, will always make love all the more precious. Thanks so much for your words, I have enjoyed them and this fic immensely, and I always get excited when I see your name on the boards. Much love.
You’re one of the first authors I ever read and you’re still one of my favorites. Memories was…WOW and this is now WOW too. I love how everything is resolved so cleanly in your stories. There’s a sense of “life’s just WAITING to take you there if you just let it sweep you up once in awhile” and I love it. It’s when your girls finally let go and do what they NEED to do, everything finally happens. I hope you keep writing – even if it’s the slow creation that this story has been. I’ll wait years if you write another gem like this. Much love coming at ya!

Aaaah. It must have been lunch, but it’s over now, it must have been good, cos I ate it some how. Sigh. It must have been your story, but it’s over now! It’s where the wind blows…. you know the rest you Roxette fans you. I just adore your stories. You know that. You know that memories was my first fan fic love EVER. That you got me writing. That I aspired to be just one small part as good as you are. I hope just because you’re done with this one doesn’t mean you won’t grace us with your presence now and then. Whether it be commenting or dropping another red hot fic on us. Either way, please stick around, you’re the goddess of this forum. Now, I must go and find lots of wood and nails and things because I have a cookie factory to build. A chocolate chip, peanut butter and extra sauce cookie factory to build… sigh… these damn promises I make.
