Yes, this is me. I know it's been too long ... for me as well. Where should I start? Come home! Denis Your voice! Like yesterday. The magic still so strong ... Tell me how you've been, I'm so far from home. Carol Try to see tomorrow; the past can't hurt us now. But I can't start to live 'til you return.

Tell me how we begin to live...before our tomorrow is gone? Carol We have today—that's all. Tomorrow never comes. Trust me today; please, give us both a chance. Denis This is a beginning . . . If we can love again I'll trust you today and give us that chance. Carol A knock at my front door; my heart swells in my throat. My lips trembling, I open with ... Hello! Denis Oh, yes!
