Familiar tracks lay under her feet and the blaring light shines her down. The horn continues to drowned out peoples voices, their faces lost with the glare. She feels confused, she wants to move, she desires to run off these tracks. She longs to be near those voices, to discover their blurred faces. The light grows brighter, the horn blasts all the faint murmur into silence. Her body tightens as fear races through her veins. She closes her eyes trying to not imagine how it will end. Light grows brighter against her shut eyes, the sound so great she no longer can think. Suddenly it's gone. The air is silent, not a trace of the track is left. There she stands in his arms, embraced by love and strength. "I thought you left," she whispers through the crisp air. "I never left, just gave you the room to realize you didn't need me. I'll never leave you but if I hadn't stepped back you would have never found youself." As his last words finish she buries her face into his shoulder and cries, the happiest cry she ever has.
