"-Hello said Audrey — Yes Mr. Gladstone — Oh good then when can I come by to finalize it? --Tomorrow's good, see you there.--Thank you— bye, bye"
Audrey had a huge smile on her face when she hung up the phone. She wanted to run into Elizabeth's room to tell her, but decided to wait until everything was settle.
Elizabeth was reading the letter for the fiftieth time. She knew every word by heart, but she couldn't stop herself from doing it. Just like Lucky said, she missed him so much she was physically hurting. When she heard the phone rang, she jumped out of bed to grab it, thinking it might be Lucky, but it was for her grandmother, and tears started to go down her face again. She decided to ask the operator the phone number to reach the University where Lucky was, when the phone rang again but this time, she answered.
"-Hardy residence
-Hey beautiful
-LUCKY!
-How are you Elizabeth?
-Not bad, How is school?
-Hasn't started yet, but I'm good thankk you for asking, he said in a little laugh
-Sorry, how have you been?
-Missing you"
Elizabeth's heart started to go a mile a minute.
"-I missed you too you know.
-Great! He said
-Great? Thanks. I'm miserable and he thinks it's great! She said in a laugh
-You're miserable? Try living in a dorrm with only guys and you'll see what it is to be miserable and the worst part is, you aren't there.
-Well, I honestly don't think I would bbe allowed in a dorm full of guys
-Probably not! He answered with his vooice cracking up a bit. Hum, did you received my letter?
-Yeah I did."
There was a silence at the other side of the line. Elizabeth knew he was waiting for her to say something, but she knew if she did say what he was dying to hear, he would come back in a flash, missing on this great opportunity.
"-I'm dying to think what you thought of it, he said
-Lucky...
-I know, I shouldn't say anything, our last meeting was clear, sorry I asked.
-I saw your brother today, you asked hiim to check out on me didn't you?
-Well yeah, I can't just stop worrying about you, you know
-I know. Well, we should probably hangg up or it's going to cost you a fortune
-But I don't want to. I miss you too mmuch
-I miss you too, talk to you soon
-Elizabeth?
-What?
-I love you
-I know, bye Lucky
-Bye
-I love you too, she said, after he hunng up"
Elizabeth went to sleep that night wearing Lucky's tee-shirt and listening to Elizabeth over and over again.
The next morning, Elizabeth got down to get her breakfast, and found a note on the kitchen's table.
"I had some errands to run honey, I'll be back before lunch so please wait for me before you go anywhere, I'm bringing something back for you,
Love you,
Gram"
She tossed the paper and sat down. Her cereal was in front of her, but couldn't eat a bite. She dreamt of Lucky all night. He was holding her, kissing her, even making love to her and now she was hurting for his kiss and his arms. She wanted to feel close to him again. At this moment, the doorbell rang.
"-May I help you, she said to the courier guy in front of her
-Ms. Elizabeth Webber?
-That's me
-Rush delivery for you ma'am. Sign herre please"
He gave her a box after her sign his sheet. She closed the door behind her, ripping the box open. A tape was inside, with a note. From Lucky.
"When we hung up, I took the guitar you gave me and started signing. I thought you might like the song that was playing over and over again in my head. It's a Dan Hill song, not really my style, but I think it was written for you.
Always,
Lucky"
She ran upstairs and put the tape in her radio. The notes came up from Lucky's guitar, starting filling up the room, and Elizabeth closed her eyes, and she was taking all the way back to the box car.
"Can I touch you?
I can't believe that you are real
How did I ever find you?
You are the dream that saved my life
You are the reason I survived
Baby...
I never thought that I could love
someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
someone as much as I need you
I Love You...
Can I hold you?
Girl your smile lights up the sky
You are the dream that never dies
you are the fire that burns inside
Baby...
I never thought that I could love
someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
someone as much as I need you
I Love You...
You are the sunshine in the sky
You are the sparkle in my eyes
I never thought that I could love
someone as much as I need you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
someone as much as I need you
I LOVE YOU."
"-Oh Lucky"
She said in a whisper.
