"Forget about that now," he reassured. "Forget about it all." Andreas wouldn't, at least not all of it. But for that moment he could push it all to the side. He just wanted Evelina, to be with her, in whatever form or way as long as he got to just drown himself in the joy, the relief, the love. As long as he didn't have to think about the pain. Maybe that was selfish of him, maybe she wanted to talk about what happened. But as he was the one that had endured the 5 years without her, Andreas figured he'd be at least a little bit selfish that night.

He moved to sit on the bed, his hand holding her's because he couldn't let go of her just yet. Andreas pulled Evelina gently and waited for her to sit by him before he pulled her close to him again. If they would just sit there like this for a little while, that would be enough. "This is all that matters," he murmured. "We're here." The words became as quiet as a whisper and he closed his eyes to her scent and warmth. We're here. We're here.

END.

"I love you too," Evy offers, equally quietly as she presses her lips against his cheeks, his nose, his chin, anything she can reach, one kiss for every time he tells her he loves her. It's the sweetest of sounds, the relief that comes by being next to him once more overwhelming. It's so very sweet, so she hesitates when he asks but then nods as a rueful smile reaches her face and leans forward to press her lips again his. "I am just sad about all you suffered, babe. Your prayers might have been answered, we might be here, but you still suffered and I hate knowing that."
