This last statement really bothered her. She began to tremble as she waited for his responce.

"well, I was thinking that I would join you for Valentines Day.."...

Ammies breath caught in her throat. A thousand thoughts crossed her mind. Was he teasing her?

"seriously?"...

Sean's fingers were trembling so hard now it took forever to post. Ammie was feeling her body grow hot with excitement as she waited for his responce.

"Yes, I am. I bought the ticket this morning...*S*"...

Ammie knew Sean, better than he knew himself sometimes, and she knew that this was no joke. Tears filled her eyes as she was unable to control her emotions and excitement.

"*wrapping my arms around your neck and giving you a big kiss*... I would love for you to spend Valentines Day with me!!!"...

Sean's heart pounded in his chest as he read Ammies responce. His face flushed as a huge smile spread across his face. He wanted to pick her up. To hold her in his arms and spin around and around. But "soon" he thought. Soon.

The rest of the days conversation was filled with excitement and plans. Ammie was beaming on one side while Sean glowed on the other. The day ended with a new post.

"Ammie... I love you...*S*"...

Sean had felt this for Ammie for the longest time but had never shared this one feeling with her. His flushed face grew hot with embarrassment until he her responce flashed onto the screen.

"*eyes filling with happy tears*... I love you too Sean"...

The following few weeks were filled with excited banter and more plans. Both found themselves caught up with laughter as there posts often came at the same time and of the same questions and comments. Nervousness filled them both yet neither one would admit it. Sean couldn't wait to hold Ammie in his arms for the first time. Ammie couldn't wait to be held.

Soon it was the day before Ammie was to meet Sean at the airport. A mix of fear and excitement filled them both. So many questions. Not knowing it the other was fearing disappointment. What if they disappointed the other one?

"um.. one question? How will I know it is you when I get off the plane?"...

Sean had an idea of what Ammie looked like yet they had never exchanged pictures. Neither one had really given looks a thought as their relationship had grown. How would he find her in all the crowd?

"You'll see me. I'll be wearing my blue blazer and will carry a rose with me..*S*"...

The flight seemed like forever the following day. Sean's palms grew sweaty and his face bore a brilliant red glow. Ammie found herself fumbling with her buttons. Her hands trembled as she brushed through her light curly hair. She was distracted as she manuevered her car through traffic on her way to the airport.

Standing at the window to the terminal Ammie saw Seans plane roll in for a smooth docking. Her face flushed as her nervousness grew. Sean peered eagerly out his side window hopeing to catch a glimps of his lady as he rolled to a stop. It was takeing for ever to deboard the plane. Sean felt like screaming and bolting down the isle. He stumbled a bit as he met the end of the terminal. His eyes scanning the crowd of people who where waiting for thier loved ones to join them. As he passed the ticket counter his heart sunk a little.

Standing a few feet out in the terminal hallway was an older lady. On her shoulders she bore a blue blazer. In her glasped hands she held a rose. Her long grey hair swept up in a clip. Sean felt betrayed. He had asked Ammie a while back and she had stated that she was a little older than he was at 33, but he was not expecting this much older. Her face was etched with fine lines of laughter around the eyes. He just stood there stareing at this lady. Not sure as to what he should do. He felt like turning and re-boarding the plane. Yet his mind was filled with all the laughter and stories. All the friendship and heartache they had both shared over the years. He drew close to her. A slight smile crossed her aged face as she turned to face him. A little tear filled his eyes as he knelt before her and took her hand in his and kissed the back ever so gently.

"I am glad to finally get the chance to meet you", he smiled warmly up at her.

"Well, I am pleased to meet you too. Although I am rather confused by this whole situation",she smiled back with her brow furrowed.

Sean came to a full stand,"what do you mean?"

"Well, this lovely younge lady asked me to wear this jacket for her and to hold this flower. Said something about a test." Her face was etched with confusion as she pointed over to the most beautiful younge lady Sean had ever laid eyes on.

Standing a few yards away was Ammie. Long blond hair flowing over her shoulders as she strolled up to Sean. His heart lept up into his throat as she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a huge hug.

Confusion filled his face,"What was this all about?

Ammie kissed him softly then answered,"I knew that if you were able to accept someone you had never met, someone who was much older, someone whom I bore no resemblance to, then you could accept me. You truely love me for who I am. Not for what I may look like."
