Cecilia was of no help at all and she was coming and going in and out of the flat at ungodly hours. After a few days Moira couldn't stand it anymore. She called Cecilia at work and told her that she had to come fetch her stuff and find another place to live. Cecilia was rather upset but Moira didn't care. She spent most of her time on the internet as there was not much else to do. She hired a cleaning service to come and clean the flat and when they left, Moira started to feel like her old self again. </p> <p>Everyday Moira felt better and better. She weaned herself off the pain medication and with proper exercise she was able to move around more freely after a month. </p> <p>Tom and Moira had been emailing each other regularly and she started to feel rather attached to him. She had a strange feeling that he was in love with her, but it was not something that she ever thought about, but she realized that he cared a great deal. She didn't have many friends and he was the closest person she communicated with in a long time. </p> <p>Tom managed to convince Moira not to resign immediately. He had not told her yet, but he had a new project in Africa that he wanted her involved with. He knew that she would be great for the position and that also meant that she would be traveling and not sit in an office all day. It would be the ideal position for her and if he could arrange it he would be the head of the task team. </p> <p>Tom was happy when he received the email to confirm. He had been appointed in his desired position and he was able to choose his own crew. Moira was first on his list, and he knew from experience that Cecilia was not a good fit, so he chose two other members from the office to accompany them. </p> <p>He drove to her apartment to find her, but she was not at home, and he suddenly knew exactly where she was. He drove back to the office and parked his car. He stopped by the cafe to order lunch, and after he paid, he walked across the road. He found her there, feeding the ducks and as he walked closer he could see that she looked happy. She smiled when she saw him, and he helped her back to her bench. Somehow their whole relationship had changed over the last few weeks and both Moira and Tom felt relaxed in each other's company. </p> <p><em>"I have a surprise for you Moira...I know how you feel about working in the city...Would you like to go on an expedition to Africa?"</em></p> <p><em>"With you...?" </em>she asked and he nodded. For the first time in her life, felt something stir inside of her. She took a deep breath and said: </p> <p><em>"I would go anywhere with you Tom...you have been my rock through everything and I would follow you anywhere. You are the only reason why I'm still here..."</em></p> <p>Moira looked him straight in the eyes. She wanted him to feel the same way but she wasn't sure, but when he kissed her she knew that she had nothing to worry about. </p> <p><em>"I love you Moira...from the minute I laid eyes on you... but I was scared. You were always such a breath of fresh air and you made me think of flowers...my flower-girl..."</em></p> <p>Tom kissed her again, and she knew in her heart that he was the right man for her. </p> <p><em>The flower child has blossomed into a flower-girl...</em></p> <p><strong>-The end-</strong></p> <p> https://imgoat.com/uploads/f6ffaa6bb0/111881.PNG</p> <p>https://steemitimages.com/DQmd73NC2v4u5AFvdqmUiSzSE9NF3JyDTaPN74W5czMZvSQ/giantbear.png</p> <p> https://media.giphy.com/media/1dJVaFll7DXRJlakP7/giphy.gif </p> <p> https://imgoat.com/uploads/974ce5ac66/102157.gif</p> <p> Animated Banner Created By @zord189</p> <p>https://imgoat.com/uploads/f93f983524/109474.gif </p> </html>
