As he stepped off his plane it became obvious to her. They only had eyes for one another, as if their time apart had made them hungry for each other in a way that could be conveyed solely by a glance, forbidden to be expressed in words. Tsukushi's hands were shaking, even as she tucked them in her sweater's pockets, the fabric providing little comfort in the stiff breeze. "I love him." she told herself. Tsukasa's eyes, so deep and probing, were watching her intently. Tsukushi was shocked at her bluntness. But it seemed the time in New York had given him a sense of urgency, a need for the warmth of her arms. He stared at her waiting, "I love you." He said, finally expressing the words she hadn't dared to let out of her mouth. Tsukasa reached over and hugged her, taking her hand and folding it within his. His big hands were soft but comforting; obviously he had been using some expensive lotion to keep them so soft. "Do you still love me?" She wondered how he could ask that question after all they had been through.
