The silver light from the moon shone in his eyes. I love you. It was more than she could have wished for, more than she could have believed would happen. The deep pain vanished, and she felt as if someone had given her new life.

He loved her; that was all that mattered. Aragorn did not always show his emotions, and it had been to long since she had heard those words.

"You love me?"
"Always."

She moved closer until she could feel his warm breath on her face. "I love you too." She found herself in his arms, her hands in his hair; his round her waist. They clung to each other desparately. Delighting in this moment of closeness Arwen moved her hands down until they rested lightly around his neck, where her necklace no longer hung.
She stepped back, her eyes never leaving the empty space where the Evenstar should had lain.

Trying to keep back the tears Arwen bit her lips, the salty taste of blood filled her mouth, but she did not notice that small pain. She could not speak. Everything had been so perfect... Why? "Why do you tell me you love me?" Her voice shook violently with each word. "Why are you doing this to me?"

"I told you I loved you because I do. Arwen, I'm sorry but I don't understand. What's wrong?" He looked down at his wife's eyes which were fixed just below his chin. Involentarily his hand flew to that point and his heart started to race again. "It's not what you think..."
"Isn't it? That was a sign of our love Aragorn. In disguarding it, you disguard me and your son!" Breathing was difficult for the great pain inside her had returned. "You have a choice: her or me." Tears streaked down her face, "I can't do this. My fate is your decision- whether I live or die, it is your choice." She could barely see him amid the swimming world, "I fear your answer could kill me. Aragorn, if you love me, I dwell in Imladris with Lord Celeborn." She was shaking as turned, merging with the blackness of the courtyard. "Goodbye Aragorn for I do not think I shall ever see you again." Silently, she left that place, her heart broken, feeling her death near.
