Unexpectedly, a tall figure jumped into her sight.
He, who was clad in a black suit, though not with a delicately cut design, stood straight there like a pine, looking as dignified as before.
The man with rugged but handsome features was looking at her, his eyes full of emotions. He was the same as in her dreams.
He was back!
Countless nights, she missed him terribly and fell asleep, and now he finally came back.
His tall figure had come out of her dreams and appeared a dozen steps away from her. Wendy, seeing his actual image and hearing the familiar voice, asked in a trembling voice with disbelief, "Charlie, dear... is that you?"
"Yes!"
Charlie was as excited as her, feeling guilty and full of remorse. His Adam's apple bobbing in his throat, and he said in a calm voice as usual, "I'm sorry, honey. I came back too late."
Of course, it was I ate—it took four months for him to come back.
She passed each day of the four months as if it were a year.
She roughed through this period merely by her stubbornness and faith.
Wendy stood in a daze, watching him walking toward her step by step. It was just like their wedding day when she walked toward her in the white wedding dress, leaving a trail of footprints on the snowfield behind her.
Finally, Charlie stopped in front of her.
Now, he was so close that she could clearly see his angular facial features and feel his breath on her face. She could simply reach out and touch his solid chest...
However, Wendy did not dare to raise her hand, for she was afraid that it was just a dream and that he would vanish once she lay her fingers on him.
When their eyes met, love and tenderness spread across their hearts like ripples in a pond.
Wendy, her hands frozen in mid- air, finally touched him. She grabbed his big left palm to look for the wounded scar that he got to save her. Also, she found the wedding ring on his ring finger. She could be sure that the person
in front of her was precisely Charlie - her man!
Charlie held her tightly. The next second, he opened his arms and held her tightly in his arms.
Wendy felt the warmth in his arms and felt like crying. She sobbed and spluttered, "Honey, I know it. I always know that you won't die because you won't be willing to leave me alone. You will come back! I am waiting for you. I have been waiting for you. Fortunately, you finally come back!"
"Yes, yes! I'm back!" Charlie tightened his arms and said in a hoarse voice.
Wendy burst into tears. She repeatedly raised her hand to wipe her tears off, unwilling to make her tears block her view. "Honey, I don't want to cry at all because I can't see your face clearly with tears..."
"Don't worry." Charlie, distressed by her sadness, kissed her eyes. He pursed his lips tight because of violent mood swings and then said, stroking her back over and over again. "If you can't see me clearly today, you can try it tomorrow. If you still can't see enough, you can try it for the rest of our lives!"
