James didn't even stumble when he grabbed hold of his girlfriend. Holding her up in an loving embrace. He felt as if an heavy sadness lifted off of him as he had his arms around her again. He didn't think he would have feel the peace she gave him again and now it was here. Now she was here and he didn't feel like letting go. A small part of him thinking if he did then she would disappear as if it had all been a dream. He wasn't going to let it be a dream. It had to be real, they had to be together again.
"I've missed you so much," he said softly into her ear. He missed her more than he would even admit to himself. His hopes of her returning and had only just started to lose those hopes. He was glad that he held out as long as he did.
Finally the embrace lessened and he looked into her eyes, "Are you okay? Did anyone hurt you?" She had told him before how unhappy she had been back home and he hated that she went back to that.
