in surprised, as he simply stood and stared at her, like a man dying of thirst finally getting a long drink of cold water. She stared back at him.
"Hi," she said, hoping her nervousness didn't show.
"Hi." He hadn't moved. He just stood there, drinking in the sight of her while she drank in the sight of him. He was wearing the same tweed jacket they had first met in.
"Oh, Latisse," he finally cried, holding out his arms to her.
"Oh, Guy!" she cried back, jumping up and running eagerly into his arms.
They held each other for what seemed like an eternity. Finally their lips sought each other out, and when they found each other, it was like they had returned home after a long trip away.
Eventually he pulled back. "I should explain-"
"Shh," Latisse pressed her index finger to his soft lips, quickly replacing it with a kiss. "I already know. You're mother told me."
His eyes wrinkled up in amusement. "Did she, now? I should have known she was behind this." Latisse giggled, then frowned. "What?" he asked.
"Your mom. Is she going to be ok?"
"We don't know yet, but she's being treated by the very best specialists money can buy. She's a fighter, Latisse. She won't go down without a fight." Latisse suddenly remembered back to New Year's Eve, and the conversation she and Mrs. Blanchard had had before the party.
"Neither will I," she whispered, pulling Guy in for another long, passionate kiss.
They made slow, passionate love on the bed, holding each other tight and cherishing every nuance of each other's bodies. Afterwards they lay curled in each other's arms, talking about everything.
"You know," Guy remarked suddenly, "I believe this is the best Valentine's gift I've ever had."
"What?" Latisse asked.
"You."
Latisse was the best Valentine’s Day gift for him.
They kissed again, and Latisse felt her heart softening and beginning to heal as the old feelings of betrayal melted away. She knew that they would survive anything, as long as they both fought for it. The Dalai Lama was right- with great love came great risk. She was willing to risk anything for LOVE….
But, she would never sacrifice herself for romantic love again.
She learned a valuable lesson.
The only true love relationship you will have and can depend on is between you and God. To err is to be human.
Never make a man the main course, he is always just dessert- a very tasty dessert to be sure…….
