It took Abby a moment to process the question put to her, another to reply. "I think I crashed the minute I walked through my apartment door. I’m actually surprised I made it to the bed."
"You know, we don’t have to go out tonight," Kim murmured into her hair.
The roughened edges of passion and something more ambiguous in Kim’s voice prompted Abby to lean her head back and study her lover’s features. Just as she feared– Kim’s pale eyes had shaded to gray, and her wonderfully expressive features were shuttered and unnaturally still. "Why do I have a feeling I should be asking you that question?" she remarked with studied lightness, waiting for and absorbing Kim’s mild flinch.
Weighted silence pressed against Abby’s sternum, and she felt the solemn thudding of Kim’s heart opposite her own. A deep breath, a fleeting thought… and…
To her astonishment, Kim bent her head to the nurse and drew her lips into a kiss that was sunlight and salt exploding across Abby’s senses. Hunger and the quiet desperation rippling just beneath her skin drove Abby deeper into Kim’s mouth, searching for and immediately connecting with the sensual impulse that had taken them thus far. Kim’s hands were everywhere; long-jointed figures on a quest of their own, seeking not to pleasure but to affirm, as if in doubt of the reality of the woman in her arms. "No…" Abby murmured, intuitively understanding the question Kim was searching to answer so viscerally. "It doesn’t feel wrong."
The blonde buried her face in Abby’s hair for an eternal moment– during which Abby felt her life start, stop, and reset itself once more. "That doesn’t mean it isn’t," came the quiet reply.
"Here we go…" This time Abby said aloud the words she’d only thought before. Capturing Kim’s face in her hands, she resolutely pulled her lover’s gaze to her own. The combination of tenderness, confusion, lust and raw pain she saw etched on those remarkably exquisite features rocked Abby back on her heels and pounded the dying breath from her lungs. "Kim…"
"Kerry was here last night," she said hoarsely.
A long pause. "I see." Realizing suddenly how tightly she was holding Kim, she consciously relaxed their embrace– as if physically letting go of the woman in her arms would help release the vice grip currently surrounding her heart and lungs. "Are you getting back together?" Amazed by her own ability to sound so calm about it all.

My heart is in my throat…tears are running down my cheeks. This was incredible. Oh my God, my heart literally hurts! Wow!! Bravo…you really got this right. Funny, I knew it had to end this way, but I am still aching over what Abby is feeling. She may not be sorry, but that doesn’t make the pain any less. Thank you for writing this incredible story. It is one I will go back and read again.

Thank you so much for this story….I love how you write and you capture the complexities of connection and love and need and desire and so many other things in such a unique way.I too knew it had to end this way but the heartache I felt was unbearable, perhaps because it feels like you truly captured Abbys character……I am thinking of that quote, people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime and the hope was for these two that maybe it could be a lifetime when in fact it was for a reason. What wonderful hearts you gave them.

Wow!!! That story was powerful, wonderous and painful all at the same time. You did an excellent job of convey all the mixed emotions that all these characters had… and the pain of unrequited love from some many perspectives.. but all with the same result. Don’t let this be the end of your writings. Keep more coming. Thanks.
