Stavanger Bay Smoking Embers

@Fleurette. Feel free to pop in whenever you like. Jealous...?

He took her in his embrace and held tight. Her icy walls of protection melted as she released herself into his arms.

God did this feel good. To have her close to him, back under his umbrella of protection. And this is where he felt safe. She was the one sobbing into him, but he'd felt so empty for so long without her.  

With his head pressed beside hers, he spoke softly "Thank the heavens. I thought I'd never see you again." 

Could he have been angry? No. Not knowing what he did. Or rather, not knowing what he didn't.
What had kept them apart didn't phase at this moment, not with them back together once again now.
