I mean, it's not like I could just let you go.' He smiled at her, looking into her eyes. Suddenly he was struck by how beautiful she was. Reaching foreward he brushed the hair that had fallen into her face aside. Then, before he realized what was happening, he leaned foreward and kissed her.

He broke away and smiled broadly, putting his arms aound her once more he said, 'Well, I hope you're not gone for too long. When do you leave?'

Sighing he brushed the hair from her face again and said, 'I suppose I'll live...So long as you come back. If not then I'll just have to go looking for you won't I?' He smiled teasingly.

Laughing, he said. 'I suppose that would be easier then a full-out man hunt.' he kissed her lightly on the forehead and said, 'So, I suppose you should be getting ready to go.'
