He draws a sharp breath at the sound she makes, which seems to shudder through him. That is something he could not truly imagine in their time apart, though he tried.
In truth none of his memories or imaginings match this. He cradles her head on his shoulder, resting his face against her hair. It is as though a tension present in him all these past months has loosened and dissipated, one that he had not even realized was there until now, when it is gone. "No," he agrees. "Not if I can possibly help it. I would have you with me always, given my wish."
He laughs a little, astonished, his breath stirring her hair. "I thought I knew how much I missed you, but I am already learning I was wrong. Only now am I made whole again, with you here. Not merely in my heart, but..." He struggles a little for words, for he does not mean only desire for her--though he feels that too, certainly, without question. But that is not why his arms tighten around her now. "It is as though something has clicked into place. I cannot explain it more."
