Derek:
Derek turned and looked at Julia not certain what to do at this point. He
was happy to be alone with her, yet suddenly nervous and shy.
Julia:
Julia turned to look at Derek once the door was closed, only to stand up and
go to him, slipping her arms around his waist and holding him close, just
needing to feel him near.
She then moved enough to look up at him and raise her hand to caress the
side of his face, her fingertips shaking a little with reaction to
everything that had happened.
"When I saw you there.... not moving....." she whispered as the image played
in her mind's eye again "I don't care what I've seen or done... it scared
me....."
"I thought... I thought I'd never hear your voice again... never be able to
do this...."
She swallowed, referring to the simple act of feeling him near her,
touching. She brought her other hand up from around his waist and cupped
his face, her lips curving into a smile, even if her gaze was still moist
with unshed tears.
"Or this.." she whispered, gently drawing his face down to hers and giving
him a feather light kiss and looking deep into his eyes. She'd let him
decide what he wanted to do but she at least had to let him know, just in
case he didn't by now.
