      THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT reconnecting with the person you once considered to be the love of your life that makes you feel whole again.

      when joseph walked in to the starbucks that day, his eyes were immediately drawn to olena. she sat in the corner, two coffees in front of her - one for him and one for her.

      when joseph walked in to the starbucks that day, olena immediately looked up, having had some sort of sense that he was there.

      when joseph walked in to the starbucks that day, he sat down across from someone who had morphed into a perfect stranger and left with someone who he could've sworn he never once skipped a beat with.

      when joseph walked in to the starbucks that day, he entered as a lonely heart and left as a full soul.

      olena's trip to new york was supposed to be only a matter of days, there to attend and take part in new york fashion week. as the days of pointless, useless clothing burned into nothing, the flame between her and joseph grew bigger and brighter than it had ever been. she found herself going home to her pittsburgh apartment, only for joseph to join her a week later.

      from there, it was a large game of back and forth, going from new york to pittsburgh and eventually other cities globally, as each individual had work to attend to all around the world. they grew close again with each other's families, as she was also introduced to his bohemian rhapsody family. she went along with him every time he visited gwilym or benjamin and he went along with her on book tours and paris trips. they made up for time the best they could, bathing each other in all the emotions that had been dammed for years upon years.

      it had been a mere three months after reconnecting that the question came, met with a rushed, "yes!" in a multitude of languages, arms wrapping around each other as tears were shed.

      olena was moving in with joseph, at last.
