Author's Note: I had a dream last night... here's what I dreamt. It's before PD2...
Clarisse was standing in the chilly but still warm summer breeze at the North Gate of the palace's garden... It was already dark, nearly ten o'clock, and she was waiting... waiting with happiness and excitement. She hasn't seen him for a long time. Actually it was only two weeks, but it seemed eternity for her. She never ever loved anybody in her whole life as she loved him. He meant her other half, the one who always could comfort her, the one who could always make her laugh, someone who meant simply home. And it sounded a bit funny, afterall she was at home, the palace was her home for a few decades, but somehow since she knew him, her world became complete.
The last two weeks gone fast and slowly at the same time. If she could concentrate on work it was easier, but mostly at night, she was restless, restless without him. She missed their walks together in her beloved garden, missed their intimate stops at some hidden corners, but mostly missed his presence. The warm feeling of his hand on her shoulder, the butterflies in her stomach when he was near her, the familiar and warm brown eyes... oh those warm brown eyes... she could totally lost in them, not to mention his smell, what always intoxicated her. Gosh, she terribly missed him, but now... now she finally could meet him again, tonight... just a few more minutes and she will be able to see him again, see and feel him... she closed her eyes for a moment, and imagined how it would feel to being in his arms again. Sometimes she was a bit frightened of her own thoughts, frightened of her own feelings, of this overwhelming strong feeling inside of her. She was an independent, strong woman... a woman who runs a country, but still sometimes she really felt she could leave everything behind... for him. In those certain moments she felt she could run away with him...
The cold summer air made her shiver a bit, when she finally heard noises. A car just arrived to the other side of the gate. She stepped back a little to keep her presence in secret from people who might be there. As the gate slowly began to open itself she felt the excitement even stronger... and the black car finally appeared... As it went through the gate, it stopped inside of the palace territory and someone got out, said something to the driver what she didn't hear, and as the car drove away the dark figure finally turned to face with her. It was Joseph... her Joseph. The happiness instantly lighted up her face as she started to run towards him, run into his arms. Joseph caught her lovingly and hugged her long, long as he would have never wanting to let her go... he was over the clouds to finally could feel her in his arms, could breath in her scent, and he finally felt as the world became complete again.
"I missed you so so much..." she whispered while she was fought with her own tears.
"My dear..." he smiled as he softly made her to face with him, looking into her eyes lovingly... he wanted to say so many things, but he just kissed her fully, tring to tell her everything he felt without words. Telling her how much he loved her and how extremely happy he was to finally could be with her again... at home.
The End
