*Though some years had intervened, she still felt so at ease in his arms, his touch so familiar yet enthralling.*
"Rudolf..." *she sighed, snuggling into his embrace.* "It's been so long."

"I...I wanted to apologize--for not telling you...about Stefan or...everything. I cannot...I will not excuse it...I can only tell you that I was young...well, younger. And afraid of what might happen or what people would think of me, but especially what you might think of me..."

*He gently touched her cheek*
"Becca...I forgive you. 'Twas forgiven for some time now. There are things I wish I could have done differently, but I can change them now. I should have been more honest from the beginning, about who I was, where I came from..."

*She shook her head.*
"I'm glad you did not tell me all...I would have been so afraid to let myself love you, then."

*Becca shivered a little, then stilled, thinking.*
"...it will be fascinating...to have a normal marriage," *she mused.* "I never would have dreamed of this."

*Becca grinned, getting under the covers.*
"What's the first order of duty tomorrow, then?"

*He snuggled next to her*
"If I know my advisors at all, they'll jump straight back into business...which means you're probably going to get an earful on the history of both Austria AND Hungary..."

"Good. And I know they'll appreciate a good student."
