“If the Gods are at all kind to us... time will be all we have to explore one another. I’ll be here again tomorrow and the next day, with you.”<br/><br/>Gwendolyn flicked the last curtain around the bed closed, cloaking them in comfortable darkness and privacy. As she nuzzled herself into him, she was aware of the burn of tears watering her eyes. Not wanting him to think she was sad or upset with him, she closed her eyes, although her shoulders still trembled. “I’m so happy you’re home. It’s been empty without you.”<br/><br/>She laid her cheek against his strong chest and her hand smoothed small circles into his bicep, comforted just from the simple skin to skin touch. “Try and sleep. You’ve traveled so long, you must be exhausted.” She pressed a kiss to his temple. “We can try together.”
