"Searching?" She was the one who has searched for him, night after night for over a year. She told herself that it didn't matter. She had chosen to forgive him for not keeping his word after he'd explained about the broken Bifrost and the nine realms at war. It had been hard, and though she'd forgiven she had not forgotten, but in the end he had come for her. When she'd needed him most, he had come. And now, again, he had appeared when she'd felt most vulnerable.

"Well now you've found me." She does not release him from her arms, but leans back so she can look up at him. His eyes, as always, captivated her.
