He strode forward and, taking her by surprise, wrapped his arms around Nora Ainsworth from behind.
She froze mid-motion as she was opening the door. Turning her head, her eyes met his, and her expression turned to one of utter shock.
"Leon Lynch?"
"Nora Ainsworth, it's me. Your fiancé has come to find you."
Nora Ainsworth cleared her throat. "Let go of me first. Come inside to talk."
Leon Lynch did as she asked, and they went inside, one after the other.
Nora Ainsworth poured him a glass of water. "How did you find out I was here?"
Leon Lynch took the cup, drained it in one gulp, and pulled her into his arms again, not letting go. "Nora Ainsworth, is it really you? Are you really Nora Ainsworth?"
She said irritably, "If I'm not Nora Ainsworth, who else could I be?"
"That time... I thought you were dead."
"I know."
"I went traveling."
"I know."
"I missed you so much."
