She pressed her fingers to her lips as the sun shined above her. She was nervous, she would admit it but she had not one regret or doubt in her mind about how she felt about the man walking toward her from behind.

She closed her eyes focusing soley on the sound of his footsteps, his rythmic breathing, getting closer and closer until she felt his hand close around her neck tightly

then and only then did she truly feel owned, beloved, peace, and at home.
