The Bodyguard - Episode 23
THREE YEARS LATER
Allison Winters She added finishing touches to her painting.
She was painting; happy memories.
She shut her eyes and sighed.
Her dad had been closer to her ever since the incident three years ago, and she'd found out her hidden talent; painting.
She had her own gallery and she was the most sought after painter in England.
Her thoughts strayed and she thought of Theo.
She wondered where he was, whether he had gone back to crime, if he was eating well.
She shook her head, she was doing pretty good for herself, making money and doing what she loved the most but she still felt lonely and empty. Her life was not quite perfect.
"There's our genius"
Her P.A walked into the studio.
She smiled and stopped smiling when she noticed someone across the street.
She knew that body anywhere, and that face even if his eyes were hidden behind a pair of black shades.
She got out of her chair and ran across the street; ignoring yells and curses from motorists.
She walked up to him, but he wasn't facing her, and he had a guard dog.
The dog barked and he turned but not to her side.
"Is someone there?"
She heard him say as he turned his face round and round trying to locate her location.
"Um-Um-I"
Her voice failed her.
He was standing before her and he couldn't see her.
What happened?
"Who's there? Please answer."
The dog barked louder.
"Um Theo"
She tried to smile.
He turned to face her but he wasn't facing her directly.
"Who are you?"
Her heart shattered into a zillion pieces and she felt tears stream down her face.
"Nobody . I'm sorry"
She sniffled and turned to leave.
"Allison!"
He called out her name and she stopped.

Theo Mcdonough
He called out her name and pulled off his shades; looking into her brown eyes.
She was taken back a bit and tongue tied.
"What? Are you not going to say anything?'
He asked with a grin; he'd spent three years missing her and dying on the inside.
"You-you're not blind"
She stuttered.
"Well I was for a while

. But I got corrective surgery."
She clasped her hands behind her back.
"Allison, I've spent three years away from you and it felt like forever. I was scared; scared that you wouldnt accept me, scared that you would still be mad at me, scared you wouldn't love me back."
A month after he went blind, his doctor informed him of a surgery that could bring back his sight and he was all for it.
"I-I um. I'm sorry for what you went through. But I think you need to leave."
Allison stuttered, avoiding his gaze.
"Allison, look into my eyes and tell me you want me to leave and I promise I'll leave you and you'll never ever see me again."
"I-I-I um"
