The days and weeks that followed were a whirlwind of emotions for Eleanor. She found herself looking forward to spend her time with Godric, their conversations growing deeper and more intimate with each passing day. And while she still flinched at times, she also found herself opening up in ways she never thought was possible. Godric was patient and kind, always gentle with her and never pushing too hard too soon. It wasn't until one night as they sat by the fire after being in the glittering snow that Eleanor finally spoke the words that have been hovering on the tip of her tongue for weeks. "Godric" She whispered, her voice shaking with nervousness. "I-I think I might have fallen in love with you." There was a long pause as Godric looked down at their entwined hands finally he lifted his gaze to meet hers, his eyes blazed with emotion. "Eleanor" he whispered back, his voice equally shaken. "You bloody well should be" and with that he leaned forward and pressed his lips on hers in a tender, sweet kiss that spoke volumes about where their relationship was headed.
