It was winter and the holiday season was fast approaching. People were hurrying here and there, finalizing travel plans, buys presents and goodies. Christmas was almost here and so was Hannukah and several other holidays that were celeabrated in winter.

He was alone. Alone by choice.

For the first time in over 4,000 years he was truly alone for the winter. Even if he wasn't with her he knew that she was alive and enjoying life.

"Oh Abigail." he cried out, the tears unchecked on his cheeks. He rocked back and forth on the park bench.

"Mister." said a small voice.

Methos opened his eyes to see a small girl.

"The brown haired lady said to give this to you." she held out an old fashioned red rose.
