A vintage's touch: Breaking into a song

 // This one is taking it back to the canon of the story :D I am so happy that finally after so long, Colby have moved forward! no more lies! no more false beliefs!



It had been a while since Mary had broken into a song. Months, maybe, days perhaps... she couldn't tell anymore. She remembered the days at the Garrisson Pub, where she would be singing and Tommy would sit on a chair, in silence as he usually did.  He listened to her, he always did, even when they were in the confines of their bedroom. Her voice calmed his soul, it brought him back to their reality and anchored him to the present. She was a beacon of Light, a way for Tommy to find his way back and it had been way too long since he did. It had been a while, but her stubbornness forced him back together. She came to him, determined to bring him back to her and to their family. She came to him and  forced him out of his own head. He had missed her, the sound of her voice, the warmth of her body against his, the gentleness of her touch and her nurturing nature. How did he forget about it? How could he stray away from it? Tommy didn't have the answer, and even to this day, he would rather have Mary believe it was by design rather than something he forgot over time. 



It had been a while since Mary sang for him but here she was, cuddled against the Shelby, her voice gently humming an old tune he knew by heart. Here she was, her arms wrapped around his frame as both of them were recovering from the intense romp they just had in his office. And he realized just how far gone he had been. He realized just how much he's been missing it, her... he's been missing her. He realized just how much as she broke into a song with him. Mary cupped his cheek and gently stroked the sharp jaw. She wanted him back, all of him, in their house and to his family. She wanted him back so hard that she managed to find him again. Who did that? Who was ready to fight for him the way Mary was? She never let go of his hand, not even when he strayed away.  She never left him behind and never considered giving up on him. Mary never did and while he couldn't express his emotions the way he wished to, Tommy held onto his woman tighter than before. He couldn't let go of her. He refused to let go of her. not now, not ever.
