James smiled and kissed her back, moving both of his hands to her face. When they pulled apart he stared at her face, taking in every bit of her. "You look so good," he said, wiping at his face, trying to stop crying.
"So much has happened for me," he said then. "So much I need to tell you. I'm just... I'm just so glad you're here."
Leaning in, he kissed her again, a bit deeper than before. "I don't even know how to tell you all of this," he said when he pulled back. "I don't even know where to begin." He had to tell her. He couldn't not tell her.
"Lily, love, Halloween of your year, Voldemort came. Peter told him where we were and he came to the house."
