<div style="text-align: justify;">Catherine just loved feeling Thad's arms wrapped around her. It felt like Heaven, and that would be a moment Cat would treasure forever. For as long as she would love Thad. Being there, in her beloved's arms, Catherine felt like life was good. Everything would fall into place. Once she was out of that house, everything would change for the best. <br/><br/><span style="color: #00FFFF">"I could never doubt your love"</span>, Catherine murmured softly. <span style="color: #00FFFF">"And I will teach our child, or children, to love and respect you as I do"</span>. She sighed and caressed Thad's arm, never stopping their dance. Catherine wondered how Thad would feel about the others, the children he didn't father. But maybe he would love them too, because they were a part of her.<br/><br/>She didn't speak further. The silence was blissful for her as well. A silence that came from feeling like they needed no words to know each other's thoughts. They could look into each other's eyes and know. They knew each other's thoughts and emotions. How could they not, if they were one person, as it were?<br/><br/>But as it happens, their perfect world was not meant to last. Not now, not yet. The familiar sounds of the horses and the old carriage woke Catherine from her dream.<br/><br/>Looking up at Thad, she spoke softly, her voice urgent. <span style="color: #00FFFF">"You must go now. But before you do..."</span>. She didn't complete her sentence. Not with words, at least. Placing her hands on the sides of Thad's face, Catherine did what she had been dying to do, and pressed her lips against his, feeling like her heart was about to burst with a myriad of emotions she couldn't even begin to define.</div>
