Just a little drabble I had in my head this morning, though I couldn't really get it to sound right...please review and let me know what you think; it's very appreciated. :) ~ DeLiA-of-the-Oysters

He had gone.

Peter had gone.

Not just gone for a little while, but gone forever.

Adelaide knew this for certain. Her Peter would no longer be here. Her Peter with the shining golden hair and eyes that she could lose herself in.

"Oh Peter," her heart sobbed "why did you go?"

~.~.~.

Adelaide.

Peter knew he wouldn't move on from her. They were back in England, but part of his heart was still back there. With her.

With the only girl to have captured his heart.

She was fair, with green eyes that quivered as the leaves do in wind. She was beautiful, and he loved her.

Now he wasn't the High King, wasn't the man they called King Peter the Magnificent. Wasn't in the land he had spent the last ten years of his 't with her. Wasn't with Adelaide.

"Adelaide, love. I'm sorry."
