Èowyn sat by herself in a large bedroom. She was given permission to stay there until Aragorn and the rest of her uncle's men returned from Mordor.
Her eyes looked down at the stone floor when she though of her uncle's dead glance. The battle of Minas Tirith was over, but she did not completely feel at peace.
A knock came from her door and she cleared her throat. "Come in."
The door opened and a familiar face entered the room. His dark blonde hair caught her eye first, then his eyes and soft smile.
"You should be celebrating. The battle here is won. The city is safe." Faramir said, approaching her.
She lowered her eyes and sighed. "I cannot celebrate. Though, I am pleased that Minas Tirith is out of harm's way."
Faramir stood above her, reaching down for her hand. He gave it a small squeeze. "I am sorry about your uncle. I shouldn't have said-"
Èowyn shook her head. "No, don't. I know you meant well."
They gazed into each others eyes and smiled. Faramir held onto her hand and sighed.
"I should return to join the rest of the men."
Slowly, their hands separated and he headed towards the door. Èowyn watched him go and wished for him to change his mind and stay with her.
Almost as if he heard her thoughts, Faramir paused in the doorway and his eyes planted on her once more.
Licking his lower lip, he said, "I'm actually not in the mood for being in a crowd. I think a nice quiet walk through the garden would satisfy me."
Èowyn blinked, unsure as to why he was telling her his change of plans. He stared at her, hesitantly, and spoke up again.
"Would you...do me the honor of accompanying me?"
Èowyn looked up at him, raising her eyebrows slightly. He held out his hand and gave her a timid smile. Her lips stretched into a smile of her own as she rose to her feet.
Her hand found its way into his and he gently pulled her along with him.
"Stay close. You can easily get lost in these halls." Faramir warned with a small laugh.
A/N: Well, seeing as the movies didn't give us much Faramir and Eowyn time...I decided to write this fic about them. I made the first chapter short mostly because I want to see how many people actually view and like the story. I want to continue, but we'll see how everything plays out :) Thanks for reading.
