Stella had hardly waited more than a moment when she saw the full transformed Claude come over the rise of the hill. With a cry of surprise and relief, she almost barreled him over as she ran literally into him, glad for his strong embrace as he held her to his form. Kissing the side of his head, she smiled into his hair and whispered, "Everything is alright now. You're here..we're both safe... everything is alright." Gripping onto his shirt tightly, in a moment her face was buried into his shoulder and she couldn't help the silent tears that rolled down her cheeks and soaked into his shirt.<br/><br/>"I was so afraid... I thought I was going to loose you too... I'm so glad I didn't, I need you Claude," Stella softly sobbed into his shoulder. But it wasn't from sadness, she was overjoyed to have him back with her. Even if it had hardly been more than thirty or so minutes, it had been terrifying not knowing what had happened to him. Slowly pushing back so that he would set her down and she could look at him, Stella wiped away the useless tears. Making a bold move, Stella stood on her tip toes and pressed her lips into his hard, parting her lips slightly to deepen it.
