another fairy tale

The phone rang thrice before he picked it up to hear the voice he'd been waiting for days. He believed that this was the voice that would relieve him of his solitude and sadness. They were going to meet tonight.
He took the much needed shower, put on his best clothes and cologne . He was ready to meet her. There she came all in red. She had grown thinner, but looked beautiful as ever. Christmas break had done wonders for her. Before he could say anything, she hugged him and he didn't want to let go. A kiss on the cheek later, he asked her how she'd been. She smiled. They were together for a few hours with other people they knew. But all he thought of was the hug.
He wanted to talk to her, he wanted to tell her that he liked her. He couldn't. She drove him back to his place. He didn't want to go back, he wanted to go to her place, talk to her, stop feeling lonely for a change. But a feeling got over him while he saw her driving. And he said-"I'm glad you came back." She laughed, touched his cheek like he was a kid.
Dan was 19 when he fell in love with Sarah, his distant aunt, single and beautiful.
