"I could sneak you food," I said with a giggle. "But you know how much trouble I have being quiet."

"yes, I'm aware," I teased yet again. "So it's best that I have the money for an inn room."

We turned the corner and the entrance to the Night Court appeared before us.
"Besides, I like being somewhere with you that feels private. Makes it feel as if we are the only people in the world," I told him.

"I like that feeling as well," I replied, ignoring as best as possible the entrance to the Houses and that it meant she would be home soon, our private time at an end. "Longest Night seems so far away."

"I know," I said softly. I was still angry with myself for pushing my limits to the point where I was unable to see him otherwise.

"It will make our meeting again that much sweeter," I whispered back, mouth by her ear for a bare moment. "And, unlike some others, we know there will be a time when we will always have each other."

"True," I said, leaning even more against him. "I just hate being without you. I know you hate it too. It's just ….. highly unpleasant."

Nodding in sympathy and wishing there was something I could do about the situation I simply hugged her for a moment. "It's better than never having found you at all. I can cope with simply knowing that fact. Your kitten will keep you company in the same way as my work and thoughts keep me."

"The kitten's better," I told him, smiling again. I leaned in and kissed him tenderly.

My hand couldn't help but go to her cheek, resting there and feeling the soft warmth of her skin as I kissed her in return. "I agree."

"You'll stay with me for awhile, right? You don't have to leave right away?" I asked.

"Good," I said, letting out a sigh of relief. I was beginning to hurt again rather intensely and I didn't like the thought of having to deal with the pain of him leaving too.

Lips turning down slightly as I watched her body tense with pain I asked, "Are you going to be able to make it back alright?"

"Yes," I said, trying to convince myself as much as him.

"Alright," I replied with confidence. "You're stronger than you think. It's not that far, and the sooner you're back the sooner you can see if Hannah has something for the pain."

Biting my bottom lip slightly to keep it from trembling, I nodded and began walking the rest of the way. Not trusting my voice, I sent him thoughts of my love.

The fact that she believed me and tried was a huge show of courage in the face of her pain and I loved her so greatly I was sure she could feel it as much as I felt her love for me. She was so wonderful in that respect.
