"James," she said softly, tears of happiness starting to well up, "what happened to you? Your face, your hair-"

James gave a small laugh, the tears coming down full force "I- well..." he looked around the wrecked room "I didn't think I'd ever see you again" he said sorrowfully "I began killing myself slowly I think." The truth was that he couldn't remember most of the past 6 months.

"I'm one to talk," she said sadly. "He put me in an asylum, as though I were some kind of raving lunatic... I never thought I'd see you again either, after a few weeks had passed. It was horrible... The other inmates screamed day and night, and they never fed us enough, and then he cut my hair..."
She buried her face in his chest and cried.

James held her head trying to be strong for her, but a year was a long time, he continued to shake as he closed the door, never letting her go, and helping her over to a couch and set her down. "Shh, shh, it's all right, were together now, he'll never hurt you again, never."
He touched her face and hair and noticed the locks missing finally, he lifted her face up "First I think a bath is necessary, and then we'll get your hair fixed yes?"

"Yes. Yes, I think so... but that's not the point. I thought about you every day I was there..."

So singled minded he thought happily "There wasn't a day that passed that I didn't pray to god to show me the way back to you." Except when I was with Richard, then I was too busy playing with light to remember he shuddered
"You became my obsession, I tried everything to find out where you were... I even went to the cellars, but I was in no state to fight the man..."

"No" he hid the bruise on his wrist "I'm sure she's fine Megan" he grabbed her hand "we'll get her away from that monster as soon as possible, I swear it."

"I just-"
She nearly collapsed onto him again, clinging like they would be separated for another year if she let go.

James held her tightly "God help us" he whispered as the tears returned to his eyes.

Slightly teasing now, she looked up at him again and smiled.
"Get me cleaned up? What about you and your beard?"
She laughed and tickled under his chin to illustrate her point. There was a real, warm fondness in her voice now, a sound that made it seem as though everything would be all right now.

"What you don't like it?" He said wiping the tears from his eyes "I thought it made me manlier" he laughed.

"-is enough. I know." He kissed her on the forehead and smiled "Lets get cleaned up then, she grabbed her hands and pulled her up.
