Only watching her, Justin sat across from Demelza. His heart still pounded, his hands still tingled with shock and anxiety at the events of the day. Hell, it had only been a few eventful minutes, but it had taken it's toll.
She appeared unbelieving and almost shocked when Justin willingly, freely returned her affections so very easily. He had his own words running through his head, from the letter as her eyes scanned it once and twice while she cried. All Justin wanted to do was hold her, but she had to see for herself, so he gave her time until she'd launched herself at him.
A gentle hand came up to smooth over her head repeatedly, calming her even as he himself leaned his head on her shoulder. Demelza loved him, and Justin loved her - in their future they had a life, a happy one and a daughter! With the island being what it was, perhaps one day they could both see her, be able to hold her. Justin smiled into her neck before they'd both pulled away and Demelza was apologizing with their foreheads pressed together. "Don't be sorry, please. Just be with me." Justin wiped the errant tears from her face and kissed her soundly.
