John Thornton, Look Back at Me

This is a *new* love story for John and Margaret. It is NOT a sequel. Please do not buy it if you want to read an extension to the original. Their love is more powerful. Expect more intimacy and adult content. -- Leaning down towards her, John murmured softly into her ear, "I miss you, Margaret. Please, come back to Milton. Don't lock your heart away. Return to me." He looked into her eyes that were staring at him in awe and then hesitantly turned and left, feeling her absence pressing in on him from that first step away. There was a knot in his stomach, but he had done all he could do for now. But was it enough?
Instantly feeling his loss and a great sense of emptiness, Margaret watched as he threaded his way through the crowd. She would never let him walk out of her life.

"John Thornton, look back at me."
