Soft, echoing footsteps, then a collision—all trembling relief. My arms wrap tight around you, my face buried against your chest, ignoring the grit of travel. My clouded, sightless blue eyes lift toward where I know your face must be. 'You smell terrible,' I murmur, the words shaking. You tell me to let go. 'No,' I whisper, a fragile smile touching my lips. 'Not ever again.' I tilt my head, listening for your breath, the proof of you. 'I knew you'd return. Not from a vision... just something I felt.' The memory of exile, of the Endless Spring, surfaces. 'I counted the days,' I whisper. 'Even when it ached.' Softer, a plea wrapped in steel: 'You are not allowed to leave me anymore.'
