Narnian and Telmarine
1. Beginning
Caspian had felt a connection with Susan since the beginning, since he first locked gazes with her.
2. Dark
Susan found herself getting lost in Caspian's dark brown eyes, and she wasn't sure if she wanted the moment to end.
3. Just
Her blue eyes were cool with disappointment, and Caspian felt a pang of guilt as Susan walked away.
4. Hero
Coming to rescue her while riding on a horse may have been cliché, but Susan couldn't help but grin in appreciation as Caspian helped her on his steed.
5. Victory
Caspian smiled as he watched Susan revel in the Old Narnians' victory.
6. Fool
Susan felt her throat close as Caspian talked about having all the time in the world, and she knew it wasn't true, even if she wished in her heart of hearts that it was.
7. History
When he was young, Caspian had read in history books about the legendary beauty of the Gentle Queen, and he now thought they hadn't done Susan justice.
8. Torn
It felt as though her heart was being torn as she told him she wouldn't be able return to Narnia; and as Susan looked into Caspian's eyes, she knew he was feeling the same way.
9. Kiss
The kiss Caspian shared with Susan before she left was a taste of what could have been, and Caspian desperately wished they could have had more than a taste.
10. Regret
She regretted walking through the portal as soon as she had passed through it with her siblings; Susan spared a quick glance to where Caspian had been standing only moments ago, but of course, he wasn't there.
11. Hope
Caspian never again saw Susan in this life; nevertheless, he harbored a private hope that he would see her again, whether in this life or the next.
12. Pain
Susan didn't want to think about whether Caspian was still alive (it was entirely possible that he was dead by now) or about the wife he was sure to have (it could have--should have--been her); truly, any thinking about the subject--any thinking about Narnia--was painful.
13. Vision
The golden-haired, blue-eyed daughter of Ramandu was beautiful to behold, but in his mind's eye, Caspian saw the dark locks and azure eyes of Susan.
14. Whiskey/Rum
She didn't care if she was too young to be drinking alcohol (she was once thirty years old, after all); the sooner she forgot about that other world, especially about him, the better.
15. Dream
Even years after Susan's departure, there were still nights where Caspian had dreams of the Gentle Queen.
16. Happiness
Susan hardly dared to believe it was real; but when she found herself in Caspian's embrace once again, pure happiness flowed through her veins.
17. Rain
Caspian stood at his chamber window as he watched the rain fall, and a small smile graced his features as Susan joined him.
18. Name
When Susan announced to her husband Caspian that she was pregnant, one of the first things she asked him was what he wanted to name their child.
19. Hands
He couldn't help noticing the contrast between their hands, how his were tanned and calloused and hers were fair and smooth.
20. Home
It was at that moment that Susan realized that her home was in Narnia, with Caspian by her side.
21. Quarrel
Of course there were times where Caspian would argue with Susan, but the best part of their quarrels was always making up again.
22. Doors
Susan had had many suitors during the Golden Age of Narnia, but Caspian was the only one who succeeded in completely opening the doors of her heart.
23. Learn
Caspian tried to listen as Susan instructed him with the bow, but it was proving to be difficult to concentrate on the lesson.
24. Time
Time had been the curse to tear them apart, but it was also the blessing that brought them together.
25. Reunion
"Welcome back," Caspian whispered as he held Susan in his arms, "I missed you."
