LOGINThis is where we have to leave Joe and D - at least for the moment. They still have a lot to work out between each other and for themselves and any other ending would therefore have been unrealistic – at least in my opinion. For all of you who absolutely hate this ending and can’t live with it, realistic or not, there is an alternate (happy) ending below – a quick fix.
“Let’s try,” she whispered and moved her hand down to his stomach.“Okay,” he put his hand back ontop of hers and slid his fingers between hers.It took only minutes until her breathing slowed down and a slight twitching of her hand told him that she was asleep again.Listening to her breathing and
Joe woke up around three, feeling really thirsty.It took him a second to grasp where he was (not in the cabin anymore) and that he was not alone.The realization caused a flash of excitement.D was sleeping far on her side of the bed.He remembered how she had always used to do that. No matter how
He was going for a mind-sweeping kiss here – one that would swipe her mind of any reservations there might still be. Even if, right now, she didn’t seem very reserved anyway. But he’d rather be absolutely sure…His own reservations were all gone by now. And having her so close just confirmed that ke
Three minutes later Joe returned, a chocolate bar in his left hand and a glass of milk in his right.“I see chocolate,” D chirped with a greedy grin. She had sat up and was leaning against the headboard. “Come here…” Like a lazy princess she waved for him to come over.Stopping at his desk, Joe set
“I don’t wanna mess this up…” he said, his gaze on the bedcover beside her head, his hand tracing one of the lines in the pattern.“Didn’t exactly feel like you were in the process of messing things up,” she said softly and reached out to touch his face.“You don’t think so, huh?” He leaned into her
Joe pushed himself away from the windowsill.“Guess I’ve really earned a jerk medal,” he contemplated as he stepped around the bed to her. “I’m sorry I didn’t pick up.”“Mhmm,” D growled, trying hard to unwaveringly hold his gaze as he came closer. “And you’re hopefully also sorry that you didn’t ca
He had almost nodded off, when the noise of the bedroom door snapped him back into consciousness. He was instantly wide awake again, his heart beating wildly. “Joe?” It was just a whisper from the end of the sofa where he had dropped the back cushions. “You still awake?” Hearing her actually say
Deep down D was incredibly relieved that his question hadn’t been what she had expected. He could ask about Pete all he wanted. That was fine. No problem there. She would answer more or less truthfully – whatever she saw fit – and that was it. The thing she really couldn’t have him ask about was wha
With scenes of a relationship flying by – Danny going shopping with him for Sarah; first evening in her dorm room; the concert; a few days of trying to get her out of his head; waking up in the hospital; his escaping his parents’ house on crutches; first night together in her dorm room… He forced h
There was a moment of silence. Watching her closely, Joe couldn’t help feeling a little aggravated. Even if there didn’t seem to be anyone else right now, what she had said in regard to Pete could mean pretty much anything. He wasn’t even quite sure how and why the relationship with Pete had ended.
