I'll Always Find My Way Back To You

She didn’t feel complete without him, and she hadn’t been. Poem needed her Sparhawk. Her handsome husband held her tight, like he wouldn’t ever let her go again, and she hoped that he wouldn’t. Her heart needed him, she hadn’t really been the same since he left. She pressed her head beneath his chin, squeezing her eyes shut as she convinced herself this wasn’t some sham or illusion. He was here and he was speaking words of love and adoration.

”I love you, Sparhawk.” She tried not to think about how difficult their time apart had truly been. ”I missed you so much.” she cried, like her own heart had been missing from her. She wished that he had allowed her to fight alongside him, to protect their family together. She also didn’t know what he had been up against. As he pulled away she lifted a paw to his cheek, gently caressing the fresh scars over his face.

He asked after their children and she looked away, ”Poetry and Satire have taken their own path, but Shae and Fable are growing into incredible young women.” There was sorrow but also hope for the future. ”I am…” she hesitated, the truth was she hadn’t fared well without him. ”I am so much better with you back in my arms.” She told him softly as he went on, worried he wouldn’t be invited home. ”She wouldn’t… She wouldn’t make me choose between you and my pack.” That wasn’t the sister she knew.
