I didn't deserve her.

Yet here she was, lying in my bed. Where she had first told me she loved me and our seeming safety from the world. We had almost shared a soul gaze here but I had turned away before it could happen.

I hadn't wanted her to see into me that first time and decide to take everything back. She...I was just so afraid she would abandon me, fleeing from what she saw in me.

She hadn't. And she never would.

Gently I touched her face, her skin warm against mine and she mumbled something. Then she cuddled close to my chest and stilled after a moment. I folded my arms about her then and gently kissed her blonde hair.

This was home.
