Aragorn's Moment

In Fellowship of the Ring, we read:
“Their farewells had been said in the great hall by the fire, and they were only waiting now for Gandalf, ... Bilbo huddled in a cloak stood silent on the doorstep beside Frodo. Aragorn sat with his head bowed to his knees; only Elrond knew fully what this hour meant to him.”
What did Tolkien mean by that line? What did that hour, that moment mean to Aragorn? What was going through his head? What did Elrond know that no other did?
This vignette is my interpretation of the moment.
I first posted this story to the HASA story archive and later submitted to and won the 2007 MEFA Award. Much of that award was a result of my beta-extraordinaire Thundera Tiger. She was vital to this story even being written, not to mention its quality. She is priceless!

The One I'll Never Let Go Of (Kili fanfic)
Isola is a young hobbit woman who lives in the Shire with her less than parent worthy father. So she spends most of her free time with her cousin, Bilbo Baggins. One day, a wizard whom she vaguely remembers as Gandalf, comes to her while she is at work and asks her to join him and Bilbo at dinner that night for talk of a quest. She agrees to come to dinner, and is suprised to find a whole company of dwarves who are charming in their own way at her cousin's home. Isola joins the company for the adventure, and she learns that family does not have to be blood, and what it means to belong. And unexpected to her, she finds the one she'll never forget, and the one she'll never let go of. I would like to add that the chapters you read will not be fully edited until I complete the book. So there will be typos, flaws in the plot, ect. I am going to do some heavy editing at the end. Everything up until then is more of a draft. I do not own anything exept for Isola and some added plot. Everything else belongs to Peter Jackson and John Ronald Reuel Tolkein. Thank you! UPDATE!!!!!! As of right now, my book is on hold. I plan on coming back to it as soon as possible, but I don't have a for sure answer as to when that will be.
