That light brush of fingers thrills through him, but more wondrous yet is her smile. "I thought I knew elation before, when the darkness lifted and I saw all would be well with the world. But even that moment seems eclipsed by this. Éowyn..."
He kisses her again. He cannot help it. After longing to kiss her for so many days, dreaming of seeing her look on him as she now does, to be granted such grace seems another miracle, and one beyond his deserving. But one he will not squander. He kisses her eyelids, her forehead, her mouth again. "Never did I think to find such joy. Never could I have imagined the transformation you have wrought in me. I do not have words to describe it, but if you will permit it, it will be my greatest honor to spend the rest of our lives showing you."
errrr ditto?
