Dance & Wine
It was just before midnight when Elly poured herself a glass of wine and put on her favourite song, Now And Then by The Beatles. She listened to the song really often, it always soothed her in some way and also made her feel very nostalgic, though she didn't understand why.
Walking past a sleeping Alfie, she stroked him and smiled as he rolled onto his other side and slept contentedly on. She reached the step that was between the study and the kitchen and sat down, stretching her legs and taking a sip from her glass of wine, listening to the song that was playing. She didn't really know why, but she felt sad most of the day today and couldn't explain why.
She had no idea that there were several cameras in her house that had constant access to her privacy. But now, at this moment, there was only one person watching her. It was Aidan, who, thanks to Division's connection to the camera system, was also able to hack into it. He didn't like that Elly could be watched every day, but on the other hand, that way he could also keep an eye on her if needed.
Today was different though, he wasn't watching her because she was in danger, he was watching her so he could at least be with her like this, from a distance. He missed her. He missed her every day he couldn't be with her. Today, today was the day that could be called their anniversary.
And this song was theirs. The first time they danced together, in a seedy bar, it played from an old jukebox. It was as if the lyrics sort of foretold their future.
