Cynthia held him tighter when she felt him put her arms back around him. She looked at him and sighed. "I have missed you too Art. Even my friends will tell you that I haven't been my usually happy self.  I just want us to be like we were now. The waiting is not going to be easy." She whispered.<br/><br/>Cynthia looked into his eyes with tears still stuck in them. She touched his cheek and stroked it gently with her thumb. She smiled gently and moved to sit in his lap. Her breathing became slightly shaky. "It is okay to kiss me Art." She whispered.
