**FADE-IN**
*They lay there, by the fire, in each other's arms, the room having a stillness to it that seemed appropriate, somehow.
Rebecca was both light and warm in his arms, feeling like she belonged there. But more than that, her simply being here made things seem better...more right. It had been ages since he'd felt like that.*

*Becca pillowed her head upon Rudolf's shoulder, snuggling nearer to him and tracing light patterns across his skin with her fingertip. There was something about firelight that transformed the plain but snug cottage into a magical atmosphere...something about being with Rudolf. She turned her head with a smile, kissing his collarbone.*

*He heaved a sigh, one hand lightly playing with her hair*
"You never cease to amaze me." He said after a moment.

"Really?" *she laughed lightly.* "But we hardly know each other."

"I know you are far more intelligent than your contemporaries...more sincerely passionate..."

*She beamed.*
"Life's too short to be insincere," *she said gently.* "Which is why I can tell you, truly, how I feel, without shame or fear of reproach."

"And how do you feel right now?"

"Happy..." *she sighed.*
((Sorry I kind of godmoded Rudolf into coming to the art gallery with Becca.))

((That's okay))
"That makes two of us."

*Becca leaned over to kiss him, unable to say how she loved him or how he comforted her or how he was everything she could ever want in a friend, in a man.*

*He kissed her back, the kiss holding in it the words that neither of them were saying out loud: I love you*

*Becca felt that she loved him--she was certain. ...but why couldn't she say it?
She contented herself with the kiss, it's sweet, warm, gentle passion easing her fears for the moment.*
How is it possible to love two men so deeply, both at once?

*Rudolf also wished he could say it out loud, but something stopped him, as though saying might upset a sort of delicate balance. But if only...*
If only I'd realized how I felt before she met him.

"...perhaps it should always have been like this," *she said quietly, pensively, weaving her fingers with his.* "Only I was so foolish..." *without warning, hot tears welled in her eyes.* "When I think of all the time and energy I wasted on...on..." *She dared not to even speak his name.* "...and you were always my friend...you were always there for me when I needed you..."

"Oh, Becca...shhh...please don't..."
*He hugged her closer, trying to comfort her*
"I would've liked nothing more than for it to be this way, all the time. I have many friends, but never thought I'd find something more than that, certainly not here in this strange city."
