A quick visit

'Come in please'.

With these words, began the visit that has been so long awaited. Friends who have not set eyes on one another for more than a decade were reunited, in a new place, after much water has flowed under the proverbial bridge. Despite all this, it was as though they had met just a few days ago.

Seated comfortably in the waning sunshine, stories flowed easily: stories of the comings and goings of two who have found a new place, and settled in quite well; stories of moves which have been lived and other adventures embarked upon; stories of impending meetings and of anticipated travels; stories of struggles and successes faced, conquered and currently unfolding.

Conversations continued well on into the night until human strength was forced to submit to the steady tick of the clock which summoned slumber.

Tomorrow's another day, more adventures and visits await, but for now, all must wait.
