He walked back into her room after he had gotten ready and kissed her long and hard his hand wrapping around her waist and pulling her close.  "I do not want to leave you any more than you want me to leave..." he said with a soft smile. "But I swear to you my love that I will return home to you just as swiftly as I can and when I come home we will not be parted again for a while yet" he said with a soft smile his forehead resting against hers. "Are you going down to see me off? he asked softly "Or will I simply find you when I return?"
