Was that her sob? Or did the wind only moan in the slender pillars of the window? Boromir was aware that his mien should remain impassive, if he were ever to leave her bedchamber, but it was the hardest step to take. The curve of her hip, his pillow for the tranquil half of the night and the anchor he had firmly held during the rapturous half, promised more sweetness he thought undeserved now, when he knew upon what he was going to embark.

“Will you stay?”

Boromir tensed.

“As long as I can. As much as I am able.”
