The Dance
John sat in his office,while Evangeline sat in Capricorn.They both reflected
on the past year,especially the first 6 months.
(John's POV)
I turned on my radio just in time to catch the last few words of
The Dance by Garth Brooks.
I coud've missed the pain,
but I'd have had to miss
the dance.
Walking over to the filing cabinet I grabbed the Eagles football that
Evangeline gave me and went back to my desk.
I sat back listening to the radio,tossing my football in the air and
thinking about everything that had happen over the last year.
I decided not to dwell on the second half of the year,because
basically it sucked.So my mind went back to the first half of 2005.
I smiled thinking about all the great times I spent with Evangeline.
New Year's Eve was one of those holidays that really meant nothing
to me,along with Valentine's Day,until she came along.
I was never big on birthdays either,but she changed that too.
I suddenly got to thinking."Why am I sitting here feeling sorry for
myself.I should be out looking for her.I want to ring in the new year
with her.She makes me happy and I want to be happy."
I got up,put my jacket on,looked at my watch and ran out the door
to find the woman who completes me.
(Evangeline's POV)
I've been sitting here on this stool for the past half hour feeling sorry for
myself and missing John more than I thought possible.
The last 6 months have been the worst of my life.However,the first half of
the year was the happiest time I can remember.John and I were so happy.
At least I thought we were.
I loved spending New Year's Eve with him and even though it started off
with an argument Valentine's Day was wonderful.
Then even though he wanted to just let it pass without anyone knowing
about it.I loved sharing his birthday with him.
Then my birthday came.We had lunch at The Palace and he gave me his
mother's pearl.I couldn't believe he would give me something so special.
I miss everything about my relationship with John.
I miss the laughter,the love making or just snuggling on the couch watching
tv,but the thing that I miss the most is talking to him.We had some really
great talks,especially after making love.
So why am I sitting here feeling sorry for myself.I want to be with John
when the church bell chime in the new year.
I get up,grab my stuff and head out to find John and knowing John I know
exactly where to look.
I look at my watch as I walk into the bullpen at the station,11:58.
Just as I turn to head to his office I look up to see him standing there
looking at me.
"Hey."he said
"Hey yourself."I said
He smiled at me and said."I was just going to go look for you.I wanted
to be with you at midnight."
I looked at him with a broad smile and said."I was just coming to find you
too.I miss you,John.I know we have alot to work out,but I want to try again
and this time I don't want any interferrence from Natalie."
He moved closer to me,smiled and said."Natalie who."
Just then the bells chimed the start of 2006.
"Happy New Year,John."
"Happy New Year,Evangeline.
(John and Evangeline's POV)
We kissed and thought to ourselves.I could have missed the pain,but I'd
have had to miss the dance and I wouldn't have missed this for the world.
