Wanted (Sometimes goodbye is a second chance)/Tangled up series

[sunsets_dinos]

Helen’s hand’s already on the doorknob but walking back into her old life after two years is harder than she’d thought. She’s been watching Nick for days, always just out of sight, fearing what she might see - a new life without her. But everything’s the same, even the screeching of that bloody door he’d often promised to fix.

There’s only one

I've said it before, but I'll say it again, I LOVE the little details you put into your writing, like the screeching door.

Heehee, it's always the little things you notice most in your everyday life. :)

Lovely.. backfires, but can see 'Tangled Up' Helen's point.. Nick actually wants her..

[sunsets_dinos]

See, if you think about S1, there are so many scenes which show that Nick constantly thinks about her. He really wants to find her and as long as she's just out of reach he keeps longing for her... but as soon as they meet properly he starts slowly remembering why their marriage didn't work.

Painful! Poor Helen.

Ooh, I really like this! That's exactly how Helen would think!

[sunsets_dinos]

I'm glad you think it fits her. :)

It's terrible that she only gets the feeling to be loved if she is missing and he's haunted by guilt. The marriage really must have been on a very low point as she left him.

In my mind it was close to breaking point, I think if she hadn't disappeared they would have been divorced in a matter of months. I think the whole Stephen affair was really the last drop.
