Perhaps it is not love that pulls her fast to him, or that stokes the desperate fire in each kiss, but it does not need to be. Let them leave uncomfortable truths and desperate hopes beyond notice. The day has been hard enough, and it would be better to look at them under the light of a new one.
This night, they need not be bound by the laws of Edoras, nor the weight of expectation. This night belongs to none besides them, and in the darkness, they are hidden from all beyond the circle of the fire's light.
"I see questions in your eyes." He murmurs, forehead still resting against hers as his questing hand glides up the inside of her thigh. "What would you know?"
