he blinked, then took his shades off looking at her finger. "you never took it off either?" he asked.
he showed her his hand, the Silver Ring still on his finger. he smiled at her, the broad, close-lipped smile for only the moments that made his heart beat as though he were alive.
"Shandrel..." he started, but couldn't think of words to say.

She took a deep shuddering breath, the tears falling. trying to deflect slightly, as her mind was racing, and her heart felt frozen, tight, and her head light-headed.
" well Dearheart, that might explain some things in your dating?" the words belied by her tears, and the expression on her face, of her heart breaking again.

he chuckled. the chuckle turned into a laugh, and he hugged the smaller elf tightly.
"Shandrel, don't cry, darling. I hate to see you cry. I love you and I always have. would you ever come home?"

She shivered again, his words sinking in slowly, she looked around her townhouse, and turning her attention back to him, he got the slightest warning of mischievousness in her eyes before she kissed him, full on, deeply, and with all the love she had tried to hard to hide in her heart,

her kiss surprised him. it wasn't quite the answer he was expecting, but it made him happy, and as soon as he could think again he kissed her back, gladly and passionately.
he missed her so much, and her kissing reminded him of it all over again. it gave him a strength, and he had to be careful not to squeeze her too tightly.
he could feel his back sinking into the couch with her on top of him.

She broke the kiss, slowly, and gestured above them, to a sprig of mistletoe hanging above them. Her eyes were still bright with tears.
" I didn't leave, becuase i didn't love you Twi, My darling, my Love,
I left because I was bad for you.... I noticed the spiral, it was hard to miss, and I couldn't help you.... you only got better after I left......"
the mischievousness was gone from her eyes, and the tears fell again,the hopelessness she had felt welling up inside her again. She couldn't help him then, how could she expect things to be different now? She had left for him, not for herself. Her town house had never seen another man inside it, aside from repair men, or her landlord. The small cafe where she worked, the regulars knew better, and newcomers were politely dismissed when they asked her for a date. She had always known, that her love for him would not fade, and would not end. She brushed his hair back again, a look of deep, soul wrenching pain in her gold eyes.

he looked up, and chuckled. when she explained why she left him, he didn't know what to say. how could he convince her that she was not th problem with the circular logic she gave him?
"Shandrel, it wasn't you. I was stressed, I hate being cooped up. keeping a low profile got the better of me, and I took it out on you. the first thing I did when you left was get worse. I wasn't taking care of myself, if you look you can see new scars."
he showed her the scar on his forehead. it still had stiches in it.
"that's why I took off for so long. I couldn't stand being at home, it felt so empty without you. I couldn't stand it. I went crazy in there. I needed to get out and express my pain where it wouldn't bounce around and hit me back. I returned to crime. I don't want that, I was lucky to turn away Marshals."
he pet his ex-wife gently, and kissed her forehead. "please come back. I'm a mess without you."

She tenderly kissed the scar on his forehead. Her tears falling on his face, as she held him close.
" Do you really, want to try again My Love....do you really think, things will be better?" She asked softly, the questions absolutely serious. His answers would form her own.
" i've missed you so much.. so very much..."

She swallowed hard, a shiver running through her, her eyes meeting his.
" As do I, every vow, every thought, every beat of my heart, I love you Twi, I.... I just don't want you to hurt.....There's never been another for me, I've always and will always be, your Wife..."

he kissed her lips, softly, deeply, meaningfully. when he rose, he kissed her chin. he smiled at her.
"you can't hurt me if you tried." he said.

She nodded, her arms wrapping around him, she was still worried, still scared, but she never, really, could say no to him. She looked up into his face, before resting her head on his chest, the same spot she used to, every day.

She held him tightly, content to spend the night just there, in her living room, holding the one she loved with all her heart.
