𝙒𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨

"Hi." A man said immedetialy.

"Björn?" Agnetha spilled with confusion.

"Mhmm" Björn nodded with amusement.

"What are doing here, shouldn't you come at 2 PM?"

"Yeah, but Benny and I finished things bit earlier, so I thought that I'll come right away. "

"Ohh, alright, kids are still in school, but come in." Agnetha was happy to see his face again.

Björn stepped into the warm house. He could smell her perfume. Sweet yet so tender.

"How have you been?" he asked while he was taking of his jacket.

"Great, we've been great." she answered with smile.

"How have you been, how are Lena and Emma doing?" she felt like she had to ask.

"Lena?" he said with light distaste in voice which Agnetha couldn't even capture. "Ehm, yeah, we have been good, thank you for asking" he spilled out of himself quickly and put a smile on.

He gaze into her blue eyes that were examining him properly. He felt weakness in his legs, he haven't seen her in past few months. He didn't know why was this happening, he didn't know why Agnetha made him feel like this. Agnethas heart was pounding so hard. She tryed to hide her excitment.

"Are you cooking something?" he asked curiously as he smell chicken.

"Lunch." she nodded with amusement as they were walking towards the kitchen.

"Smells delicious."

"Wanna help me?" she gave him a sweet smile.

Björn couldn't resist that smile and for a while he gazed into her eyes leaning on the counter.

"Sure."

"Okay, you can slice these vegetables for salad." handing him knife.

As he was taking the knife from her hand carefully, Agnetha felt his fingertips but she tryed to act that she didn't even notice it. She didn't want to exhibit any feelings for him.

"So," Björn said while he was cutting tomatos. "are you working on something right now?"

"Yeah, I've started workikg on a new album. It's going slowly and there's a lot of work on it, but I'm enjoying it."

"Great." He said in case she thought that he wasn't listening to her. Actually he wasn't. He was staring at her with sparkle in his eyes.

Agnetha turn her head to face him. "What?" She asked with amusement and smile on her face, because she could feel his warm stare.

"Nothing." He broke into reality quickly and continued slicing the vegetables.

Agnetha left kitchen with childrens dry clean clothes that were freshly washed and headed to their bedrooms. First to Christians, where she put just some T-shirts and socks. Then to Lindas bedroom. As she was opening her wardrobe, something from top of the wardrobe fell on the ground. It was frame with picture. Agnetha couldn't see what photo was there, because it fell with photo facing the ground.

"Damn it." she exclaimed quitly.

She took the photo and wanted to put it back where it was, but she noticed one thing. It wasn't Linda or any of her friends on that photo.

Agnetha brought her eyebrows together but smile immadiately. She wondered why would Linda kept this. In the other side she understood it quickly.

She went downstairs with photo in her hands. She didn't take eyes from that photo whole way downstairs. She was examining the photo. Every little detail.

"Björn?" she stepped into the kitchen still with her eyes on that black and white picture.

"Hm?" Björn turn his head while bit struggling with cutting.

"Look what I've found on Lindas wardrobe."

"You're normally searching in Lindas bedroom for things?" he said with small laugh.

"Look."

Björn walked towards her. Grabbed the frame from her hands."Gosh." he spilled out of himself. He was looking and the picture with sweet smile. While Agnetha watching his reaction.

"That's us," he said softly "on ABBA the Movie premiere"

"Yeah." Agnetha answered with her eyes on Björns face.

"You found this in Lindas bedroom?"

"Yes, she kept it hidden on the wardrobe. It fell when I was opening the it."

"I remember that night." Björn said with smile and turn his head to face her. Their eyes were stucked to one another not dare to move.

"Yeah, me too. It was only two weeks after Christians birth. I was in such pain and exhausted, but I enjoyed it.." she moved her eyes to his lips for a second but moved it back immadiately. She felt weakness. They were just few centimetres from one anothers body. Björn leaned closer to her. Agnetha was helpless. They both knew what shoud come next. She moved her eyes on clocks in second.

"Children!" she broke from their closeness.

"What?" Björn said confused.

"Children, I have to get them from school! " she rushed to front hall and started to putting her jacket on.

"I'll come with you, the weather is bad outside."

"No! Someone has to stay here and looking after the food."

"Agnetha, I won't let you go in that weather for yourself alone!"

"Just stay here, we'll be back in half an hour."

"Agne-"

She slammed the door. Björn put on his boots and jacket as quickly as he could. "Agnetha!" he grapped her hand.

"Go inside, I'll drive for them." he said calmly.

"But-" Agnetha tried to find excuse.

"Go." he said and gave her a smile from which her heart melted. The look of fear but yet so carring. He took car keys from her hand and drive away. Agnetha was standing outside not really knowing what just happened.

Even that it hurt she was glad that she could break the closeness between them. She didn't want to fall for Björn, he had a wife - he had family. She couldn't do something like that. But she also couldn't resist him.
