I will take you home...

she touched his adoring face.. no wonder.. he wanted a comfortable future... where he can call his home.. not a temporal place.... not anywhere anybody can point at his face and call him homeless...

"I love you".. she whispered..

"Will your people accept me now"..

"Well..".. Roman lifted a hand and trailed light fingers down the edge of her jaw.. "We have the night"..

her book trembled slightly at the echo of his voice.. she turned her cheek into the palm of his hand.. it was fun to tease a little..

and she tilted her face towards his own...

"Mmm is that an invitation?"

she blushed.. "Naw... a promise"...

"I see"..

"Both"..

Her soft laughter captivated him... "Roman"..

Roman paused..

"I want to live with Sandra"...

"I know".. her eyes sparkled..... this man has brought her genuine happiness.. all that she has long wished for.. "She is aware and we are all leaving..."..

"Seriously?"

"Yes... Sophie and her sister will come with us"..
