Arwen sat silently on her balcony, looking out over the splendour and beauty that was Rivendell, her home. A light breeze ruffled her raven-black hair. She stiffened when she heard the sound of hooves on the road. She looked down. Her heart skipped a beat and she leapt, quite un lady like, from her seat. She sprinted down the steps and flung her arms around him. "I thought you'd never come." She whispered in his ear.

He smiled at her. "It is true my journey took much longer than expected. I had to be here. I had to see you again."

"I cannot believe I am engaged to be wed." she sighed, examining the ring on her finger.

"But you are happy?"

Arwen paused. "Yes. I am." She looked into his eyes. She searched for the slightest trace of happiness. All she found was sorrow. "But it is apparent that you are not." She wandered up the steps again and he followed her.

"I *am* happy Arwen. You know I am." He paused when he realised she was leading him to her quarters.

"You do not show it." She sighed. "Ever since I have known you, you feel like you must hide something from me. Tell me what." She waited for an answer. Silence reigned. "I wasn't *asking* you to tell me." She said firmly.

He looked at her beautiful face. "For so many years Arwen," he stopped. "For so many years I have- have wanted t-to do- To do this." He stammered and he leaned towards her and brushed her lips with his. She responded immediately. He pulled away after he realised what he had done. Soon Arwen slipped her hand to the back of his head and pulled him into a passionate embrace. The pair slipped into her room and locked the door behind them...

A/N: Please review. I know its short. But I hope the next one wont be. Who do you reckon Arwen will wake up with?
