Tick-tock, tick-tock.
Boing. Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo.
It's 9 o'clock'.
Step, step. Sit.
Tap, tap, clack, tap, clack.
Click, click, cli-click.
She stares at the laptop screen intensely.
Arrival time: 20:50.

Tick-tock, tick-tock.
It's half past 9.
Rattle, rattle.
Stomp, stomp, stomp.
She opens the door.
Creeeak. Chirrrp, chirrrp.
False alarm.
It must have been the wind.
Whoosh, whoosh, rustle, rustle.
Aroooo. Arf, arf, aroooo.
She looks up at the dark night sky sprinkled with twinkling diamonds.
It's a full moon tonight.

Chirrrp, chirrrp.
Whoosh, rustle, rustle.
Ring, ring. Ring, ring.
Slam!
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp.
Swipe. Beep.
"Hello?"
She had anticipated a call for 4 days.
Trickle, trickle.
"Yes…okay. Bye"
Trickle, drip. Sniff.
Step, step. Sit.
She makes a promise to herself to stay up all night.
She needs to reflect on these past 4 days.
The one thing running through her mind, again and again, is why.
Trickle, drip. Sniff.

At 10.15pm, she falls asleep on the couch with rivers flowing from her eyes.
Rattle, creeaak. Thud.
Step, step, step.
Damn, I fell asleep. Is this a dream?
Step, step.
He kisses her on her forehead.
Muah.
And says, "I'm home."
This isn't a dream.
She could feel the warmth of his lips and the purr of his voice, it's all just too real.
She quickly extends her slender arms to embrace him in a hug.
"I'm sorry."
Trickle, trickle.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you. I shouldn't have doubted myself for believing you. I shouldn't have thought the things I did. I'm sorry. I love you..I'm sorry."
Trickle, drip.
He hugs her tight and says, "It's okay now. I'm home and I love you too."

She thought he had run away.
She thought he didn't care anymore.
She thought he didn't want to be found.
She thought he had been in an accident.
She thought is this it?
She thought wrong.

Sort out your feelings, fix up the misunderstandings and tell the ones that matter what they mean to you before it's too late.
