“Yes, Dr. Harrod said I was doing very well,” she added proudly.
Jeremy’s eyes gleamed with a tender joy, “I’m glad, you’re a very special lady so you make sure to listen to your mommy, okay?”
Tanya nodded again, “We’re going to get some ice cream now. Want to come with us? I’m going to get gummy bears on mine.”
“I’m sorry, sweetheart, I have a meeting with Dr. Harrod now so I can’t.”
“How about tomorrow?” she asked hopefully.
Jeremy shook his head, “I don’t think so, but make sure to have some extra gummy bears for me okay?”
Before she had a chance to make any more heart wrenching demands, he got to his feet and smiled softly at Violet, “Take care, Vy.” The loving nickname slipped out of habit, making Violet’s skin tingle. How she had missed hearing his voice! She had listened to his exchange with Tanya wordlessly, soaking in the sound of his voice, her heart overflowing with love. As he turned around to leave, she knew she couldn’t bear to be without him for one second more. Even if he didn’t love her anymore, she had to try.
She reached out and grabbed him by the shoulder before he went any further. Jeremy turned around again, concern etched on his face. “Is everything okay?”
“Please don’t go. I’m sorry.” The words tumbled out in a rush.
“What are you sorry for?”
“For making you leave, for accusing you of cheating on me, for not listening to you when you wanted to explain, for…for…everything.” She finished lamely.
“You have nothing to be sorry for, Violet, I’m the foolish one for pushing you away the way I did. I should have been honest with you from the start.”
“I miss you,” she said softly.
He took a few steps closer to her.“I miss you so much too,” he whispered back. “I should never have broken up with you. Ever.”
“I’m sorry for getting in the way of your work.”
“But you didn’t! Violet, I’ve learned so much about myself over the past several months. I want to conquer the world yes, I want to be the best damn doctor I can be yes, but none of that will mean anything if I don’t have you and Tanya by my side. I realized how much joy and light you brought into my life once I had lost you. I never knew how dull and gray my life had been until the day you walked into it and I…”
“How come you never called?” she asked him reproachfully.
Jeremy grabbed her by the arms, “Oh, Vy! I wanted to call you so much but you told me to never contact you again, I thought you meant it and I wanted to respect that.”
“Didn’t you know I didn’t mean it!” she cried, tears of happiness welling up in her eyes.
“How could I possibly know that!” he exclaimed wiping away those tears.
“Can you ever forgive me for the things I said?” she asked him.
“Question is, can you ever forgive me?” he replied.
“Kiss him, Mommy.” The little voice they had forgotten all about piped up from below.
Embarrassed, Violet tried to step back but Jeremy swooped in and wrapped his arms tenderly around her, gazing deeply into her eyes.
“Come on beautiful Mommy…kiss me.”
Tipping her chin gently, he pressed his lips firmly against hers. Violet sank into his strong arms, her body fitting snugly against his, inhaling his familiar scent.
Jeremy held Violet’s slim, warm form. His body surged with passion and desire and he resisted the urge to run his hands over her delicious curves. He could feel her heart beating against his and as he felt the rhythmic rise and fall of their heartbeats, he knew that at last he had found everything he was looking for.
Neither one wanted to let the other go and the intensity of their kiss continued to mount until a little voice again brought them back to life, “Can we please go get some ice cream now, Mommy?”
Pulling away from his tantalizing lips with some difficulty, Violet looked down at Tanya, feeling ashamed at her overly demonstrative show of passion. “Yes, honey, we can go now.”
Jeremy looked at them both with a twinkle in his eyes, “I think I might join you girls for some ice cream too, if Mommy doesn’t mind.” He looked at Violet, his unspoken question written in his eyes.
“What about your meeting with Dr. Harrod?” she asked him.
“I’ll ask his receptionist to reschedule it. I think this is more important.”
“We would love for you to join us, but only on one condition.”
“What’s that?” he asked her, looking worried.
She stepped up to his ears and whispered in seductive tone, “Only if you promise to have a pajama party later tonight.”
A wicked grin spread across his face, “Done!”
He bent down and picked up a giggling, squealing Tanya, “Let’s go get us some ice cream now.”
Violet grabbed the purse she had abandoned on the chair and followed after them, heart bursting with joy and love. Fate had found a way for them after all.
