The silence that sat between them after those words were spoken seemed to drag on forever but it was a solid sort of silence, not the eerie unknown that could twist and turn your life upside down. She knew she should have fully removed her paws from around his waist but the comfort was there and it had been so long since she had felt the warmth of another. She stole a glance at him when he turned to gaze at her, a weak smile upon her lips as she knew inside she was trying to fight a battle she knew she would never win. It seemed though that the long comforting silence had finally come to and end at last though.
She looked down at the man as he offered his hand to her. She hesitated at first but in the end she allowed the male to assist her. It was like electricity when their bodies brush briefly as she caught her breath. She closed her eyes at his words, knowing they were true as she nodded in agreement. There were duties to be performed and her young nephew to collect. Her heart ached as she watched him turn away but at the same time there was the warmth and excitement at being back..being home. This was home...
