Eowyn watched through her palace window. The morning wind blew auburn leaves across the courtyard and circled the castle, lashing her face. The harsh breeze and bitter air brought a wintery element to the dawn, but the sun still shone and there was a feeling of contempt.

Eowyn had found the last few months at the castle very dull. She thought that with Faramir's return things would start to liven up for her, but he was kept constantly busy with a heap of work that didn't seem to stop coming. She thought that he was given more than was perhaps neccessary, and a voice at the back of her head told her that perhaps he just didn't feel the need to make time for her. She shrugged off this thought and turned from the window.

Hurriedly brushing her wayward hair and arranging the folds in her dress, she left her room and walked down the corridor to Faramir's quarters. Trying the handle, she was pleasently suprised to find it was not locked.

The Steward stood facing her, his arm held out as if he had been reaching to open the door himself. He moved aside to let her enter. Any anger she had felt over his absence dissapeared immediately and a cheeky smile spread across her face.
"It's been a while" she stated, leaning into him and letting his arms warm her from the chill. She lifted her face and gently pressed her lips against his, feeling pressure back and fingers running through her long hair. In that moment, any fears or worries she had were gone. They were there, they were together, and nothing else mattered. Now, nothing would break them apart.
