*Finally changed into dry clothes and hanging the last of his sopping wet outfit in front of the fire to dry, Adam flops onto the couch. He smiles the smile of the well and truly happily tired.*

*Adam can't help but laugh.*

It's probably for the best that we did it this way, come to think of it.

[the_lioness]

Aye. Next time Thom gets upset at me over it, I'll calmly remind him that he would have had to walk me down the aisle.

It was best for us. *firm nod* And that's really not as selfish as it sounds. I think.

[last_adam]

I don't think so.

*He holds her tight and rocks her a little, relaxing.*

Are you happy?

[the_lioness]

Aside from various security issues, feeling as if I'm letting Jon down and worrying about Thom? I'm happier than I've ever been. Because of you.

*She smiles, snuggling close and finally feeling warm again.*

More so every day.

You?

[last_adam]

Never thought I could be so happy.

[the_lioness]

Truthfully? Neither did I. Well, I could conceive of bliss, but I rather thought glory and great deeds would bring it about.

Glory and great deeds are wonderful, but they still leave you feeling a little hollow inside.

This? *She kisses him slowly.* You. It's all the exact opposite.

[last_adam]

*Carefully, he stands, still holding on to her.*

You fill me up.

[the_lioness]

Aye. Like that.

Does this mean I'm forgiven for shoving snow down your collar?

*Not waiting for an answer, she smiles and starts leading him toward their room.*

[last_adam]

*With a laugh, as the door closes behind them.*



Almost.
