*Faye giggled.*
"There is that."

*Aimery smiled and leaned forward to kiss her tenderly.*
I just wish that there was more I could do to make you feel better. I love you Faye. I only want to see you happy.

"Knowing that you love me is enough to make me endlessly happy, 'Mer," *she said, unconsciously making a sweet endearment of his name as she snuggled against his knee and stared into the fire.*

*Aimery sighed and rested back in the chair, stroking her hair.*
This is what I want...this is perfect...be with me forever...just like this. Be my...
*His eyes shot open and he sucked his lip, trying to hold back the word. But just as is often the case, trying to not think of something only made him think of it more clearly.*
...wife.

*Faye went perfectly still, feeling a deeper cold pierce her pseudo-flesh at Aimery's words.*
"I can't..." *she whispered.* "You know I--I can't."
Oh God, what have I done?

*Aimery blushed quickly and looked very remorseful.*
I know...I didn't mean...I mean I did...but I know...I'm sorry. I won't...not again, I promise.
*He touched her cheek gently with a sad smile.*
This is enough. I promise. I didn't mean to be selfish.

*Faye shook her head, her eyes filling with tears.*
"No, it isn't. It's unfair for me to take all I can get from you and not be able to give in equal measure."
*She took hold of his hand as it touched her face and stroked his fingers.*
"You deserve a wife, Aimery. Someone to...have children. Grow old together. Have you any idea how much it would kill me to be like this forever and to watch you getting older...growing away from me, moving on? I want to be your wife Aimery...your living wife."
*She got to her feet, a solemn intensity in her gaze.*
"Crossing back and forth between this half-life and being an utter phantom...it's getting harder every time. I feel as if I'll have to make a choice, soon. ...I've go to find a way back to life...even if it costs me my soul."

*Aimery's heart ached at her words. He shook his head gently and brought his hand to rest against her cheek, brushing her lips with his thumb.*
No...you shouldn't say that...everything will be all right. We'll find a way...together.
*His expression softened slightly.*
But when we do...you'd really...want to be my wife?

*Faye put her arms around Aimery and held him close.*
"I want to wake up in your arms every morning..." *she laid a hand on his chest, feeling his heart beat.* "I want to have your children and watch them grow up together...I want to console you when you start to go bald..." *she smiled a little and reached up to brush his hair out of his eyes.* "Yes," *she said softly.* "I want to be your wife."

*Tears of happiness welled in his eyes and he pulled both of them up into a passionate embrace, kissing her deeply.*
Oh Faye... I never thought I could feel joy like this. I'll find a way...I promise. We'll be together, no matter what.

"I'll do anything I can, no matter the cost," *she murmured against his lips.*
