Ava, in part, was thinking that all of this was too good to be true... still even though they had embraced one another and his arm was around her. His presence surrounded her. But, her heart was also aching for him. For the inner turmoil she had seen in his aura. How much he had sacrificed... she didn't know all of it. Probably not even a small percent of it. But she felt it. It weighted on him heavily. When she first met him she had called him a warrior of the people. He had not wanted to accept that term. She wondered if he accepted it now? With everything that he had sacrificed and been through?
He had his arm around her waist as they made their way to the port key. She had hers around his too. For her, all of the pain that she had endured the last twenty years was worth it. Just to feel his arm around her and hers around his.
They made it back to his place without being hindered in any way. Once they had stepped through his door she turned to him and said, "Let us make the most of our time together. I do not want to think about our time apart or when we were ripped away from one another. Is that alright?"
