He was barely over her windowsill before she was upon him. Wrapping her arms around him and pressing her lips against his. In between kisses she managed to murmur, "I have missed you so much"
"I can tell!" he chuckled, a little overwhelmed by this unusual display of affection from his beloved. "And I have missed you too"
Marian withdrew her arms from around his neck, allowing him to enter the room properly. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I needed to see you, I couldn't spend a whole day without you! Especially now that we are to be married," he added, bringing her hand to his lips and kissing it.
Marian smiled indulgently, "Have you told your gang yet?"
"No, in fact, that is what I was coming here to ask you." He ducked his head before looking up at her again and asking "Would you come and spend the night at our camp, so we can announce it properly?"
A slight frown crossed her face "Robin, you know I would but..." she stopped as Robin hung his head, "but" she repeated, placing her hands on either side of his face, forcing him to look her in the eye, "I would be missed"
"I miss you Marian"
"I know, Robin, please… what are you smiling at?"
"I've just had a thought." he said drawing her into his arms.
"Mm?"
"If you are unable to come with me, why don't I stay here?"
He felt her breathe a sharp intake of breath.
"Robin..."
"I'll sleep on the chair if you so wish it my love just, please, let me stay?"
She giggled.
"Robin, it's not that, it's just that it's not safe for you here, what if they find you? I would never forgive myself."
He kissed the top of her head. "You don't need to worry about me Marian"
"I know, but I do."
"Please, come to the forest. I promise you will be back before they notice you are gone."
She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.
"I'll come"
