A gentle knock wrapped at Boq's door, a delicate hand with folded, porcelain fingers, come to atone. They might not be married anymore...but they still loved one another. It would just have to grow again...blossom as it did before. But how she wanted to merely pull him close! Soon...if she could wait for soon...

"Miss Glinda! Feeling... better I hope?"

"Yes," she nodded. "Thank you. I wanted to..well...apologize for the other day. I wasn't myself." she blushed, lingering in the doorway, wondering if she should go in.

"What was going on?"

"I was...upset...Ellie's just like my little girl, and her moving off to college all by herself...they said it sent me into hysterics," she laughed at herself. "Silly of me, really. She's not biologically mine. But I raised her just like she was. I've always had a fondness to the girl."

"Forgive me, but I don't" he said bitterly.

"She'll grow on you. I know she looks like--" she stopped herself. "But you still have a fondness for me. Even if I was half crazy, I heard that loud and clear. And crazy as I might have been, I wasn't lying when I said I had a fondness for you, too." Was it too much? too soon?

"Miss Glinda, I appreciate you trying to soften the blow, but please...I can't take this..."

"I'm not...softening. Boq." she came in toward him. "Listen to me. I'd been thinking this for some time..about you. And that's why it all sort of spewed out that way. I didn't mean it to come out like htat, but it's out in the open now. I would never hurt you the way I did again. I'm so sorry for every hurting you that way. For the longest time I couldn't even forgive myself, bear to see you, think of you, because I knew how badly I hurt you. Then I heard you still put a question about me on your tests, and I thought 'there must still be some little part of him that cares.' And you do! You said it yourself! The last thing I wnat is to hurt you more. I'm the cause of all the hurt you've had..."

"Glinda, why all the sudden. After barely speaking for years? And with me...like this..."

"I'm not nearly so shallow as I used to be..." she laughed a little, trying to lighten the mood. "Because I've seen you around. I've seen who you really are when you're with a book under a tree...enjoying the afternoon breeze. I've seen the way your eyes sparkle when you feel passionate about something. I've seen that pure, boyish heart still inside there just crinkled up with hurt. I can finally see you for who you are...strange it took all this time, but I do."

"I..I said i'm sorry. I'm so sorry..." her eyes filled with tears. "I shouldn't have even come, even said anything. I should have planned better, but after yesterday....i'm just sorry." she turned from him, wiping her eyes.

"No... Miss Glinda" he ran after her. "Please, I've always loved you. I just...I can't loose my heart again. It can't take one more break."

"I will never break it. I've had mine broken, and I will never do that to someone again. I will hold it so gently and carefully in my hands and hold it close, press it to me, and never let it go." she turned to face him. "Everything I babbled...I want that. I want that." I had that...
