Nick stared at Julia, not saying a word. She was right. Here she was and all
he could do was push her away when he should be doing the opposite. Ahh! why
did this day have to be so freakin' frustrating!?
<< She stood up, her tone quiet and her own gaze as troubled but determined.
There were unshed tears in her eyes. She was just as upset as he was about
her dying but damnit she was HERE now. And did he really think she would be
able to handle losing him again....?
"Nick Boyle you're an ass." She told him in no uncertain terms and very much
the Julia he remembered "You're going to push me away and I'm here. If and
that's an IF I'm taken back what are you going to remember? Pushing me away
or --" her voice dropped again "or being as happy as possible until that day
comes? I did not stand there and fight as hard as I did just to pop in for a
casual hello and see you around and leave again."
She hesitated a moment and whispered "Or... maybe I shouldn't have come
back....." >>
